--- Quote from: rvalente on November 02, 2021, 02:49:01 pm ---A Fluke 17B is also a great meter and very well made. --- End quote --- Very basic features though, and in reality no better made than a Brymen. --- Quote from: rvalente on November 02, 2021, 02:49:01 pm ---For about 70 euros maybe the UT61E+ be a good choice, although the input protection is not the best (as uni-t's are historically), just do not use for everyday mains probing and it should be fine. --- End quote --- IMHO the UT61E+ is only worth it for the PC logging feature. If you don't need that feature you can get a meter with similar abilities for much less money. |

You get extra features like the bar graph and peak detection. --- Quote from: marck120 on November 02, 2021, 03:42:30 pm ---Is the 600V limit a problem ? --- End quote --- Hopefully not. You shouldn't really be going near 600V. --- Quote from: marck120 on November 02, 2021, 03:42:30 pm ---If I have to check a capacitor and I exceed 600v, do I risk immediately blowing the fuse ? --- End quote --- A capacitor should always be fully discharged before you measure it, ie. at 0V. It wouldn't blow the fuse anyway, the fuses are only on the amps ranges. |

--- Quote from: Bud on November 02, 2021, 05:33:56 pm ---The probe sockets on those are pure junk. While the meter is OK what is the point if you cant reliably connect the probes. Do not buy these Aneng stuff. --- End quote --- I don't know what abuse your meters receive but I own Anengs that have lasted for many years. My old AN860B+ is one of my favorite meters ever. If you get an Aneng be sure to get some gold probes to go with it. They really make a big difference. |

Thank you all, very kind. I need the multimeter to check electronic boards, power supplies, for the moment I have an electrode welder, a satellite receiver and a PC power supply that I would like to check because they don't work, things like that. I was referring to the voltage of the capacitors which sometimes reaches 1000v, this for example is 1000v but we are talking about voltage, the voltages of the alternating current I think it is a different thing. As a shop that sells in Europe there is also this,: https://www.welectron.com/Brymen-BM257s-Multimeter_3 Regarding the Aneng I saw the video of Dave, when he opens the multimeter he has a laugh, he says that it is not very solid: |

--- Quote from: marck120 on November 02, 2021, 08:56:27 am ---The budget is quite low, I thought I would spend about € 100 - € 120, as far as possible I would like to get a valid multimeter, with good build quality and that lasts over time. Which model do you recommend ? --- End quote --- Uni-T UT161, will cost +- $70 on AliExpress 11-11 (AC 20kHz, AC+DC). Or Kaisi K-9033 (dual display and bargraph) or Aneng AN870 for +- $32. Or if you just want to have a DMM for eventual use at home: Aneng M118A (auto selection and range) for $11 |
