hi all - i use an Avo 8 mk6 meter for my model railway hobby & other. - i don't have a DMM.
a few days ago my led tv packed in.
i thought it was the psu caps however they looked ok so i decided to check the single 12vdc output. that too was ok but when i switched the avo to ac a reading of about 25vac was displayed.
i was rather confused by this & posted on another forum regarding. there i was informed that the ac component of a dc source could not be measured correctly using an analogue meter.
however regarding a DMM, conflicting advice was given - some said the ac component could be tested others, not.
i would therefore be grateful if someone could enlighten me before i buy one.
