By Tom
This probe set should be in the meter case of anyone who works around live 480V circuits regularly. While the probe extenders are nearly too long to fit in my Fluke meter case (but they *do* fit), they help keep me out of harm's way, so I don't mind at all. The extenders provide me with a safe option to getting too close to live circuits.The probes are just like the normal Fluke probes, but the insulation extends nearly to the end of the metal probe tip. Only the last 1/8th inch or so of the probe tip is exposed. This helps prevent arc flash if a probe tip should happen to slip off of a hot terminal while getting readings. I've seen what happens when a normal (long exposed tip) probe slips off of a hot 480V terminal screw and shorts to a grounded cabinet: the blinding flash and deafening bang can easily cause you to fall off of a ladder or work platform, jump away from the panel and into other equipment (or into the path of a forklift) and/or suffer burns. And you'll need to buy some more probes once you quit shaking...This set includes a set of normal Fluke leads as well, so you'll have a spare set to use when your existing leads get worn out or damaged.Everything is typical Fluke quality, so the set should last for a very long time. I'm glad I bought this set; it's cheap insurance and complements the other safety gear needed for working with 480V circuits.
