EEVBlog 121GW Multimeter Firmware Details
alex-sh:
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:
