Hello all,
I am new to PAT testing and have a Fluke 6500-2. I am having an issue whereby I cannot seem to drop the voltage down to 250V when testing a surge protected extension lead. I have read in a couple of places that without a means of lowering it from 500V simply hit the IEC test button, let it do the EB continuity test, let it fail at the IR test, save it and make a note. Is there any way of lowering the voltage so I can run successful tests with these extensions?
Thank you
P.S. Is it me or does anyone else think the Fluke 6500-2 can be a bit unintuitive to use?
