Just damaging the insulation is not enough, failures usually also involve moisture or dirt to create a path which has an resistance high enough to not trip the breaker but low enough to get things energized which probably shouldn't. When testing devices you usually also want to check the path between the plugs earth and casing so an RCD can operate properly - this however requires a specialized circuit to measure properly (high current to ensure a reliable path) which is missing from this device in comparison to a PAT.
try to make a pencil line on a paper and the prob at both end on 1000v you should see a cool thing if its a good one you should see the arck going on the line
Most insulation faults, in the real world, come from damp and/or excess moisture situations. Scraping away or cutting the insulation, like you are doing here is no way to simulate a fault condition. Much better to get a glass of distilled water, (which is an insulator), and contaminate it by the smallest amount. Naturally occurring condensation across exposed conductors, due to worn or perished insulation, will usually be contaminated by any pre-existing dirt and/or oxidation of exposed copper and thus create a conductive path where normally, there should be none. The output test voltages seem rather on the low side but you just gloss over this, which gives the impression that you do not want to upset whoever it was that sent you this tester, because you got it for free. The battery level indicator shows that the batteries you are using are far from optimal. This could be because you are using NiMh rechargeables which typically have a lower voltage, even when fully charged, than your regular alkaline types. Unfortunately, we don't get to see what type of batteries you are using, which is just another problem with this review. Is it because your batteries are low or wrong type that you are getting these low output voltages ? We shall never know. Also, you accidentally left it in continuous mode at 1,000V which speaks volumes for your competency levels. I'm sorry but for me at least, this review was a fail. All the best. I know you can do better. >

It's 6x1.5v AAA amazon cells. (c'mon) This device is not superhachging supercaps. funny how people think "danger Robinson, danger, life in Danger" when they hear high voltage. Knock yourself out, take a clickable lighter, or an arc lighter.. its gonna do jack. same with this, it is a very small arc it creates if you shorten the probes, and floor the 1k HV exactly the same with these protection zappers, people in the USA are purchasing to protect themself... they are way way more powerful then these, and they will still only tingle and not like Hollywood loves to display them.
@@JAKOB1977on any of the megohm settings you will get a shock ie on the 500v settings if you carelessly leave the test button in the contiguous mode and touch the tips of the test probes you will get a 500v shock and it will hurt but it won’t be fatal as the meter only puts out 1amp ie it put out high voltage very low amps. I have been a qualified electrician for thirty eight years and I use these test instruments every day. Some of you guys need to learn how these devices work and what they are used for and how to use them.

Out of curiosity has anyone licked there fingers and tested body insulation? I've been told it's great for Ross River virus. Apparently! Lol 😆. Don't try it!

Very cool little gadget..
Very cool. Who's the one guy that thumbs down all the videos? It's actually kind of hilarious.
Jared Gray haters gonna hate lol
Great for checking capacitors also, especially if it will discharge them. Too bad we can't see inside it.
Great review 👏
try to make a pencil line on a paper and the prob at both end on 1000v you should see a cool thing if its a good one you should see the arck going on the line
ray tru I will do that, thanks
Rotate then press
Can this be used for Audio cables and guitar cables to find breaks in the cable wire?
No, this is for testing your household products like a toaster, or clothes iron etc
@@learnelectronics ok thanks
Did Temboo support with arduno Uno R3? How can i used Tembo sent email from arduino. would you tell me your coding sir, thank you
Wat range batan

Hola
Quiero saber cuál es el valor. Admible para un motor

You accidently left it in continous test mode at 1000V. Good thing you didn't touch the leads. I would not trust this device.

Great tool for 3 phase motors at a really good price.
Yes indeed!

por favor lo pueden traducir al español ,estoy por comprarme este megometro pero su manual esta en ingles, soy de peru

Stop using haters gonna hate, sounds like what a liberal would say
