5-1. AC Voltage Measurements
WARNING: Risk of Electrocution. The probe tips may not be long enough to
contact
the live
parts
inside some 240V outlets for appliances
because the
contacts
are recessed
deep in the outlets. As
a
result, the reading may show 0 volts when the outlet actually has
voltage
on it. Make sure the
probe tips
are
touching the metal
contacts
inside the outlet before assuming that no voltage is
present.
CAUTION: Do not
measure
AC voltages if
a motor on the circuit is being
switched
ON or OFF. Large voltage surges may
occur that can
_
damage
the
meter.
