Using new test equipment - NSW Safety Alert

A qualified and experienced electrician was testing high voltage (10kV) with a new type of tester and suffered an electric shock.

There appear to have been problems with the colour coding of the leads, the instructions supplied with the tester and differences in practice with different types of testers.
