That will happen anyhow sooner or later. --- End quote --- I believe I saw a vid where someone tested it, and the meter survived (as many decent DMMs do). Don't quote me on this though, better search yourself -- there has to be a lot of vids showing transient protection, user error protection etc. |

Result: A Brymen is as good as a Fluke. (And Keysights fall apart after a couple of thousand turns) |

--- Quote from: temperance on March 24, 2024, 09:22:24 pm ---That applies to any handheld DMM. --- End quote --- Not exactly any. A counterexample is a super cheap Uni-T UT33A+, which has a usable 2 nF range. Watch around 3:35: I don't know for sure, but it can't be the only DMM with a low-nF capacitance range. --- Quote from: temperance on March 24, 2024, 09:22:24 pm ---Holding the probes is enough to screw up any measurement below a few nF's. --- End quote --- Yes, but that's irrelevant to not having a sufficiently low range. |

Just to be clear, that's 50,000 times to the far end of the dial then 50,000 times back again. |

Superb, next meter will be a Brymen. That's if the Fluke fails because I don't need that many meters. |
