You are more than welcome. Technically we should all be a part of the EEV blog forums, they have relevant and useful information regarding home electronics, pcbs, soldering/reflowing, tools, equipment, electronic labs on a budget (ie last nights’ video!) and so on! As you can see they are very professional and quantitative to all these things.
It is a very good forum for flashlight enthusiasts because our interests/hobbies match.
Same with prepper forums, ham radio, RC/fpv, outdoor/EDC, garage forums, DIY (led lights), MTB forums, etc
I found out this meter was coming out this year with massive improvements over previous yeas and I got lucky. You can check anywhere and normal retail is $135.00. I saw one on eBay for 50 bucks and thought it was a fake or stolen but I took a chance. They are 100 percent legit even called and checked with Southwire and registered my warranty. He now has 2 left for less than I paid.
I used this to test voltage of EU plug socket. But I mistakenly placed cable to AMP section. And there was no fuse inside
Then guess what happened
Multimeter’s PCB partly fried and a very big flame appeared while it is in my hand but fortunately there was Residual-current device and it saved my life (I think). RCD cut electricity in just milliseconds and that prevented fire.
When I open its inside I saw this:
I know that in USA, many house does not have Residual current device. Please buy a quality one it will save your life!
@hamedshh Quote was from another forum but not mine. I just thought it worth posting and when I had a chance to do so I saw you had already posted a link to the site I was planning to post.
He “recommends” these two:
UNI-T UT135B
NKTECH NK51E
and after him saying that you have to ignore safety and build quality at this price, you should watch these videos too:
Just picked up the Harbor Freight CEN-TECH 61593 with a tilt up led display a few days ago for 24.00 and change. I have a GREENLEE 93-606 and a FIELDPIECE SC76 and the CEN-TECH seems good so far. Time will tell with cheaper meters, sometimes they work great or there just crap
I'm an electrical engineer and I use a Uni-T UT61E at home (Fluke at work). It's a fantastic low-cost but not crappy meter for electronics hobbyists, and available for <$50. If you're working with mains, I would get a Fluke. Otherwise, the UT61E is fantastic. I would pass on all those really cheap $10 meters, really not worth the worry if the reading is accurate or not, or if it will blow up in your hands :)
The probes which come with the Uni-T are.. OK. But if you want a real upgrade, spend about $20 and get a good pair of Fluke leads and it really transforms the experience :)
I’ve been a little confused about its 22,000 count capability. Does it mean that for example when measuring voltage, if you’re under 22V, it’ll display 3 decimal places and then switch to 2 decimal places once you go above 22V?
