--- Quote from: floobydust on June 03, 2023, 10:02:05 pm ---What's behind the obsession to read VFD frequency? It's like a marketing gimmick for electricians, and now everybody is putting in the feature. It's a dangerous measurement with HF HV square waves- just to "check" motor speed? The VFD display tells me that and more- just read RPM there. Why would it ever not match the VFD's intent? A shorted IGBT or SCR you're see some blown fuses, loss of a phase, so I think VFD Hz is useless. --- End quote --- Kane sent me an EEVblog branded 555 meter, a variation on the 121GW, and they wanted to know if I was keen to sell it. But I didn't understand why they added motor measurement on such an instrument, didn't make much sense :-// |

For checking motor capacitors? |

Would not buy a multimeter without LowZ V in a plant or industrial environment, been there done that. --- End quote --- FWIW: The 2807 model has "Single-pole Contact EF-Detection for Precise Indications of Live Conductors" Also non-contact EF detection with selectable sensitivity: |

This is slightly worrying: Looks like battery life will only be about 150 hours. Surely they could have made it work with 3xAAA. LDOs only cost a few cents. |

Low Bat below 2.5V, Accus got 1.2V each.. |
