Pro tip: stop chasing ground faults with a multimeter only

Spent 2 days tracing a intermittent ground fault on a King radio stack before I remembered the old megger trick. Hit it with 500V insulation tester and found a cracked pin in the backshell in 10 minutes. Anyone else keep forgetting to break out the big stuff for intermittent faults?

Wait you used to skip the megger too? I was the same until this exact thing happened to me last month.

Hate that feeling, been there and it sucks learning the hard way like that.

Yeah that's rough, always double check before firing it up.
