APPLICATION NOTES:
This fused probe and clip leadset is designed for testing low
voltage circuits with test voltages up to 1 kV. The leadset is GS38
compliant, fitted with FF500 mA 50 kA fuses, which allows
voltage measurements to be made in safety when using the user
selectable voltage measuring range on any MIT or S1 5 kV to 10 kV
instruments.
These clips are designed for testing low voltage circuits with test
voltages up to 1 kV. The insulation is designed only to protect the
user from the output of Megger 5 kV, 10 kV and 15 kV insulation
resistance testers up to a maximum instrument test voltage of 1 kV.
The clips cannot in any circumstance be relied on to protect the
user from live systems above 600 V a.c. in a CAT IV environment, or
1000 V a.c. in a CAT III environment.
It is important to check fuse continuity before and after a test

SCREENED TEST LEAD APPLICATION NOTES:

Relative motion between unshielded long leads for a D.C. test
causes a variation in capacitance between them. This in turn causes
very low frequency currents to flow, creating interference with the
D.C. being measured. In addition induced current from nearby
cables or radiated noise from corona around HV bushings can
interfere with measurements causing unstable readings. This can
be greatly reduced by using a screened lead set. The positive (red)
test lead is not screened as it is usually connected to ground. The
negative (black) lead is shielded with the shield connected to the
guard terminal. Induced currents flow to the guard terminal and are
