Anyone extensively tested 1.58 beta please? Any drawbacks?
bicycleguy:
Best yet, no regression AFAIK
Alex Rodriguez:
The burden voltage I think  is a little off.  Using a 25Ω/5W  resistor in series with  12V DC, the 121GW shows 18.3mV burden voltage. The FLuke 28II connected in parallel to the voltage input of the 121GW shows 21.96mV.  I followed page 41 burden voltage measurement  instructions.     Of course,  there is no mention to use another DMM to confirm results.  The 121GW current measurement is right on the spot. Firmware 1_58 beta

You may have a look on this concerning burden voltage:

My friend, yes I watched your video, but  I hate to tell you that you might have to re-do your video. Have you looked very carefully page 41 (121GW User Manual - Last Revised: 08 February 2019)?  You are using mVA/VA, and that is for something else. To measure burden voltage, you must use  mA or A.
By the way, the mVA/VA is working just fine.

Page 41 says:

To measure the burden voltage an additional lead is required, this must be
connected between the active current terminal and the voltage input, as shown below:
