Thanks, Lawrence. I have the booklet somewhere, but cannot find it. I suspect that both the frequency and the waveform may affect the readings, although there is a fault somewhere in the PSU under investigation.
Jeffrey, for the benefit of others less familiar than you or I with electronics, that warning is very helpful,hanks for posting it on the forum. I must admit I don't use an isolating transformer (perhaps I should!). The power to the bench is protected by RCDs, and my test leads should be up to Cat III standards, but of course there is no such thing as being 'too careful' when dealing vith high voltages. It is certainly possible to become complacent, adopting the attitude 'It'll never happen to me'
