I recommend Multimeter with limited budget

Thank you very much to everyone, very kind,

@rsjsouza

If I understand correctly the fuses of the multimeters are intended for current and not voltage measurements, the brymen 257s has two fuses inside one holds up to 10A and the other up to 400mA, if the capacitor is charged and I measure it in voltage should not have problems, with the multimeter in capacitance mode if the capacitor charged instead could be damaged.

Great summary thank you so much for your availability and the time you have dedicated.

Yes exactly, I need the multimeter for light use, at most I could use it on the home system, but I do not exceed 230v

I like the Brymen very much, it was also recommended to me on an Italian forum, yes the warranty and spare parts are very important especially if the price of the multimeter is high.

Personally I prefer to take a device that lasts me for many years, of course the price of the Aneng AN870 is great, it is on aliexpress, but I don't like to buy on this site, the delivery times are very long and in case of failure I don't know what guarantees I have.

Here I found a review: https://lygte-info.dk/review/DMMAnengAN870%20UK.html

The Richmeters RM113D. I found it in this Italian shop:

https://www.manomano.it/p/richmeters-rm113d-multimetro-digitale-voltmetro-13631000

@CharlotteSwiss I meant that they are less safe compared to a high end multimeter, that's what I read on the forums, I don't know if that's true.

@ Trader These DMMs are really interesting, I must say that I did not know this brand, I do not know where it is built and if there is an official site or shop that sells in Europe, I hope it is not Chinese, yes I have seen the price on ebay, there is written that it is new but it is strange, new costs almost double.

In this regard, I also found a manual in Italian: http://www.radiosurplus.it/pdf/DMM180.pdf

How build quality and internal components is better the DMM or the Brymen ?

Hi Marck,
I believe that if they were really dangerous, the same manufacturer would have run for cover. Honestly, I too had read some unfavorable opinions on the web, but it seemed to me a stance in favor of other brands. Then if the reasoning would be: better a uni-T or a Fluke, the answer seems obvious to me. But it would be like comparing a small city car with a Ferrari sports car  :-//

Hi, I do not think they are so dangerous to the point of being withdrawn from the market, from what I understand I think it is a problem related to certifications.

I'll report what they wrote to me in a forum:

". I say immediately forget the various ANENG and emulate digital multimeters (already because they exist also rebranded). Dave Jones when he examined one (and to realize it just open one as I did on my 8008) highlighted the danger internal construction.
Yes, because they are invariably all (including the aforementioned UNI-T 61E) with alleged certifications for the various categories of overvoltages induced on the electricity distribution networks, 105% disregarded.
As a design of the printed circuit (dimensions, areas of respect provided to avoid the firing of dangerous internal sparks due to the limited space; absence of slots in the air, etc.) as well as as passive components for managing the transistors (PTC first of all but also varistors with metal oxides, gas dischargers these very uncommon indeed).
And this is a question of safety first of all that the purchase price; Digital multimeters of this kind are only suitable as fourth, fifth equipment and only for direct current measurements (within 250 Volts AC ... I wouldn't dare to measure potential differences above 400 Volts at 50 Hz). "

They say that for voltages within 250 volts a.c. there are no problems, then I don't know what to say, I'm ignorant on the subject.

I show you the various reviews I have read, they are in Italian though:

Thank you, unfortunately there are no subtitles about the videos, I will try other videos.
