Freaky Amazing DMM?!

krw used his keyboard to write :

I didn't say you had to use an analog meter. I said that they do not have the same problem. An analog meter "IS A LOAD" a DMM is NOT.

No s*it... exactly my point. A voltmeter with a high impedance is not the tool to use to test for live circuits....

Sparky, carry crap tools? Ok, you don't need much and evidently=20 can't handle a good tool.

It is exactly the right term. It is a high impedance meter that has a shunt added to cripple it's input impedance.

If it was a .1% meter with the .5% feature added, yes, it was "crippled".

It does one thing and one thing only. The uncrippled meter will work in a wider variety of circumstances, though we are getting pretty far from the original point.

Jump into a discussion late, with both feet, often?

Read the thread.

Wow! I'm impressed! For a sparky, you're pretty sharp, there.

SO there *is* something wrong with a digital meter. I thought you=20 sparkys were just telling me that the display type didn't matter.

You couldn't afford me. I understand electricity.

It happens that krw formulated :

bullshit. you are just another wannabe...

Heavens no! I have no interest in becoming a sparky. Crappy work,=20 low pay, and no fun.

krw laid this down on his screen :

Only for cable monkeys. Find the right niche and you can name your price.

So even in a perfect niche it's still crappy work and no fun, but=20 pays well (doubt it). Even your perfect niche is two huge steps=20 down. No thanks. =20

It happens that krw formulated :

So you know nothing about working in the field...and you accuse me of not knowing how to use my tools?

lol

I know enough to have a better life.

No, I accuse you of not understanding electricity.

Nice to know someone round here knows what they are doing!

Really? They both use resistive divider networks across the DUT.

That depends on what you consider a live circuit.

He was in electronics before you were a twitch between your daddy's legs.

Show me where he declared knowing nothing about the field.

You ain't real bright, making s*it up from what you read and calling it fact, boy.

Both of you are idiotic to think that there is some inherent error or danger in using a DMM to observe an AC line.

krw formulated on Friday :

Just goes to show you know nothing about the field.

Well, I am accusing you of the same.
