Safety MIC-2510 meter is designed for performing check tests of protection against electric shock in mains systems. The meter is used for making measurements and providing results to determine safety of electrical installations. Therefore, in order to provide conditions for correct operation and the correctness of the obtained results, the following recommendations must be observed: ...

During measurement, especially of high resistances, make sure that test leads do not touch each other and the probe (crocodile clips), because such a contact may cause the flow of surface currents resulting in additional error in measure- ment results. OPERATING MANUAL MIC-2510 version 1.11...

Note: During measurements of insulation resistance, dangerous voltage up to 2.5 kV occurs at the ends of test leads of MIC-2510 meter. It is forbidden to disconnect test leads before the measurement is completed. Failure to obey the above instruction will lead to high voltage electric shock and make it impossible to discharge the tested object.
In order to eliminate the influence of surface resistance in transformers, cables, etc. a three-lead measurement is used. For example: at the measurement of inter-winding resistance of a transformer, G socket of the meter should be connected to the transformer tank; OPERATING MANUAL MIC-2510 version 1.11...
