A few years ago, I was camping and there was an electric fence nearby with goats beyond it. For fun, I put my "free with coupon" Harbor Freight meter on the fence wires but got no reading. Then, I decided to try the terminals from the fence's power supply. Yep, those worked. I heard a "ssst" sound from the meter and took the probes away but the display was frozen. It didn't change when I turned off the meter, but then it slowly faded away, and the device was dead. Oh well, I kept the meter leads for spares and put another free HF meter in my camping supply box.
For my real work, I use a Beckman Tech 310 that I bought new about 1987. Those are fantastic meters.
