Reply to "VOM meters"

Comment of rtr12's post.  Commercial installations, it is very common to have 480/277 volt and 208/120 volt circuits  mixed in the same conduits/boxes.  You can not depend on color codes for identification.  Something beyond the hair on the back side of your fingers is a huge safety factorThose voltages, I listed above, are a "no fun" experience.   

When in business, I would get one or two wild/weird experiences per year of this type of insanity.  Hopefully all went home that evening.  There was, and still is, a reason for safety meetings on a regular basis.
