Frequently Asked Questions

Test leads are rated by their ability to withstand voltage spikes. HK Calibrations provides leads ranging from CAT II to CAT IV; choosing the correct rating for your environment such as CAT IV for Australian utility-level measurements is vital for operator safety and equipment protection.

Silicone insulation, available in the HK Calibrations range, remains flexible in cold Australian winters and is resistant to melting if it accidentally touches a hot soldering iron or manifold. This durability makes them the preferred choice for heavy-duty industrial and automotive use.

Shrouded plugs feature a protective plastic shield around the metal connector. HK Calibrations supplies these to prevent accidental contact with live terminals, ensuring your setup complies with modern Australian safety standards for multimeters and clamp meters.

For low-resistance testing, HK Calibrations recommends Kelvin croc clips. By using two wires for current and two for voltage sensing, they eliminate the resistance of the test leads themselves from the measurement, which is essential for precision Australian engineering tasks.

Most HK Calibrations test leads use standard 4mm banana jacks, making them compatible with the majority of professional multimeters. However, we always recommend checking that the lead's current and voltage ratings meet or exceed your meter's specifications.

You should replace leads immediately if the insulation is nicked, the wires are exposed, or the "wear indicator" (a different colored inner layer) becomes visible. HK Calibrations specialists advise regular visual inspections to maintain safety and prevent intermittent signal loss during critical testing.
