Not uncommon to get a false reading with a meter and when that happens it can get you to the point of pulling your hair out. BTDT to many times and when the Captain of the ship is yelling he want such and such fixed that does not help either also BTDT [Reply]  [No Email]

If the fuse is blown you will get a reading, provided there is a load on the line, no matter how small. If there is no reading the fuse is good. Dusty [Reply]  [No Email]

Power co had it fixed in 1.5 hrs [Reply]  [No Email]
