If they feed into some main distribution cabinet of a sufficient size and short circuit potential, you are easily in a CAT IV zone- and then there is a limited choice of manufacturers I would trust. --- End quote --- In that case a CAT IV 1000V BM869 would be a step up from the Flukes they're currently using... |

Brymen may be just as good or better but if I work for your company and you provide me with Brymen I won't be happy. |

And then, including yearly cal and needed turnaround times, Fluke sometimes offers good longterm value, all costs added over a longer time. --- End quote --- Yes all mains goes through the UPS by ride through method. And yes; during maintenance/repairs/overhauls main distribution gets touched but supplies are de-energized and switched through switching procedures. Multimeters are mostly used for cabinet work (LV). |

The scariest thing about working on serious UPS systems for me was always the battery strings; you get a short within the string (fuses are normally only at the ends) on a big one and it can be spectacular, loud, and very dangerous. I don't envy anyone that has to work on modern ones with big lithium strings. We were always issued with Fluke meters, (I had an 83 and a 95), and though I'm a Fluke fanboy still (too many to list, but 87V daily at work and 289 daily at home), but I also really like my Brymen 869S, it's a damn good bit of kit, and I'd be happy to trust it at work if I didn't already have the F87V. |
