    Multimeter question.

    I have a Fluke 179 and I need test leads that are rated at 1000v, it is said that the test leads it came with are ok but probably wont be too accurate at high voltage...Anyone have any ideas of the best teast leads I can buy that would work, or should I just use the ones it came with and hope it works out in the end? Thanks.

        Just use the leads that came with it....they are good for CAT III-1000V. You're measuring voltage, not current....so different leads won't give you any different readings.

        CAT IV “Origin of installation”
        Utility level and any outside cable run

        CAT III Distribution wiring, including “mains” bus, feeders
        and branch circuits; permanently installed loads.

        Voltage rating by itself can be misleading.
        CAT III-1000 V (8 kV transient) is safer than CAT III-600 V
        (6k V transient)
        But CAT III-600 V is safer than CAT II-1000 V

            Measuring hybrid trucks and busses. Not over 1000v but it peaks close to it. My Meter is rated at CATIII 1000v and CATII 600v. Im also gonna be measuring amps, ohms and continuity. Just curious if my leads would work for what i got.
