/diy/ - Do It Yourself

>>1179641
Fairly confident I would have blown the guts out of both meters if I had done that, and this is far from my first foray into meter based troubleshooting, ranges are not the issue here. But I agree, Shit makes no sense. Meanwhile, on remeasure, I'm only getting a measly 750V of the rectifier. We 240V, so this is still wildly high. Yes, it's a cheap meter, but if I swap them I get the same results.

> 100K resistor
1/4W? 5W? >9000W? Does it matter?

> wet kleenex
I was considering a 500W lamp on some flyleads. This seems safer than touching that shit with a wet object.
