[QUOTE="Robin Spark, post: 80973, member: 5444"] Gonna have to think where I read about this which was only over the last couple of days, I thought it was on the ECA website but just really quickly checked and couldnt find it. However the article was recommending about not using a multimeter to measure earth leakage in the cpc as there was a good chance of it blowing up in your hand if not adequately internally fused and a large fault current occurred. But now as per normal you've got me thinking cos my test leads are fused (not sure of fuse rating and too late now to check) and just so long as your method is followed ie isolate supply before putting mulitmeter in series with MET and earthing conductor and ensuring good connections with crocs then this should be ok.
