Can this meter be used to test the strength of an electric fence?

Yes, Set it to ac or dc depending on your fence converter. probably ac. 2 alternatives are 1. use the back of your hand. 2. pee on the fence and see if your ding-a-ling gets a good shock.

It can be used to test this if you have access to both the fence wire and the grounding source.

I doubt it. The critical factor is how strong is the fence likely to be. This unit is great, but it has a maximum voltage capacity of 500V (AC or DC), soif your fence has a voltage greater than 500V, then it will probably invoke the safety feature of the unit and it'll just show an error.

I would say yes. I have this product and it detects emf from TV and computer and even smart phone. I'm not sure what a dangerous level of emf is but this meter detects up to 5 milligauss.

I would have no problem with this meter doing that. I use it all the time to check lighting ratios. Just hold down the trigger and read away. You'll have to do the math old school but it'll work.

I used this meter for general use low voltage 1v -28v dc and some 110v ac. This meter is auto ranging. Looks like your looking for meter that measures milli volts below 1 volt I would not buy this model.

I don't think so. I used it for fencing around a school garden. It tears very easily and I need to find something else to use. I can't imagine using this for anything!

Yes it can, but I suspect the small Gauss Meter (Ghost Detector) cannot register the actual strength of the E/M waves. The ghost detector is sensitive to very light magnetic anomolies and is no substitute for industrial meters. If you only want to know if you microwave is leaking I don't think it will work because the extreme power within the microwave would cancel it out. Good Luck anyway

It will test any insulation breakdown but, as others have said, is designed for motors. It will give you a range but you will have to interpret what it is telling you. The range values on the meter itself is based on a 240 volt motor. For testing home wire insulation its best to use a true "megger".

I really don't think so. I'm not sure that the sensor can read the signal through a wall along the path of the wire as it does at the breaker. Admittedly I've never tried to.

I wouldn't know the answer to that for sure - but would not hesitate to use with an invisible fence. This is not an electric type mechanism but rather one of kinetic energy - thus based on the dogs movement...as they move they create body energy and the tag works to keep critters away...not related to any electrical devices etc. I believe on the Shoo Tag site you can reach out to them and there are FAQ's, I'm sure they can clarify 100%.

The meter came with stripped wire ends. This Meter can be installed after a 30' wire source. You could connect 2 gauge wire by soldering and covering with heat shrink tubing or electrical tape. The meter is used for low voltage 12-20 volts DC and is used to monitor solar charging and other low voltage DC use. Mine worked well.

i don't think that will work as you would be measuring micro voltage , you may need a galvanometer

I don't think it will work. Not sure the unit has enough power to "signal" an entire chain link fence.

Yes. Im a retired Elec. Contractor and got this meter for my son who is getting into the appliance repair business and knew he would need that function for troubleshooting appliances. So I researched it well. See link: http://www.testequipmentdepot.com/fieldpiece/stick-meters/hs33.htm

I'm not sure--the wire might "bend" as it's cutting. It doesn't do well on thin plastic,

No - it measures wire length (in feet or meters only) according to the gauge of the wire - copper or aluminumAccuracy is pretty good

Actually, this little meter has been around for a long time; only recently coming into fashion for "ghost hunting" expeditions. It can be used by electricians, plumbers heating and air people, burglar alarm companies, etc. in the fields of home building, protecting or repair. Look it up online with the query - "official uses for K-II EMF meter" and this should better answer your question.

The meter will match your long wire, as long as it is not used with more than 100 watts PEP
