Much better than they were 20 years ago, though. They've come on       in leaps and bounds. HOWEVER, when it comes to measuring anything mains-       related I would never use one. I've got a Megger for such occasions. The       equivalent in the US is Fluke. These two brands have *proper* protection       from high voltages at high energies. The cheap Chinese meters simply       aren't up to that sort of job.                                   --       This message may be freely reproduced without limit or charge only via       the Usenet protocol.
