From the user manual: "Do not input voltage exceeds 36VDC or 25VAC when you are at the setting of measuring current." That number I believe is from the fake 61010 ratings. |

Is there something preventing me from applying more than 36V to the current input? :popcorn: --- End quote --- The instructions (the folded bit of paper that should have come with your meter) say "Do not input voltage exceeds 36V DC or 25V AC when you are at the setting of measuring current." Typical chinglish grammar, but the meaning is clear. But no, there's nothing stopping you from applying more than 36V to the current input. |

They are there so that when something goes wrong, either due to a fault in what you are measuring or because of you being a human and making a mistake, the meter literally doesn't blow up in your face. Such mistakes could for instance be probing the wrong points and instead of measuring the current you suddenly put a large voltage across your meter. |

if your going to ignore the manual then nothing is stopping you from checking the ignition voltage at your spark plugs or taking it to a railway line to see if the extra rails are live!! |
