The KUSAM- MECO DMMS point HRC fuses to prevent damage to internal circuit in the event of wrong connections.
The DMMs are provided with a tough Holster which takes care even if the instrument drops from a height of 1- meter. The Instruments have transient protection from 6 kv -12 kv thereby ensuring safety of the user even if a fault takes place in the supply system, this protection is not available in most similar instruments available in India.
