Multimeter mistake: worried about outlet
<< < (3/3)
greybond:
Also I definitely didn't imagine the sparks... my hands were burnt.

I'm sure that is the way I had the multimeter set up when I tested it. I'll take a look at it tomorrow and see if there's anything rattling in it... Not planning on using it again any time soon until I figure out what happened.

Time to pull that sucker open and take some photos of the insides to see what went pop.

If you are lucky it's just a fuse, if you weren't so lucky it'll mean some interesting photos. :D
SG-1:
If the metal ends were damaged, then similar damage occurred inside the outlet.  :scared:

I always use a CAT IV instrument to probe my mains.  If you are checking an outlet, the next thing you know, there you are inside the panel.
