miatafrank Posted May 28, 2010 Author Share Posted May 28, 2010 well, I just stuck it into an outlet after reading your reply, and it's reading 119.6(7)v so it seems to be working properly... Reading a wall outlet (AC) and reading a battery (DC) are two very different things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miatafrank Posted May 28, 2010 Author Share Posted May 28, 2010 For Mark My 1st vid, yay! lol Again, you can't read a wall outlet and a battery with the meter on the same setting, as one is AC and the other is DC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

noXious Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 Ack! Ugh! Bwahaha! I'm laughing while utterly confuzzled...Big Jim = good sport. I'm not so sure you fellas even know what you're talking about. j/k! I am sure that you know how to confuse us ladies. Thank goodness these things come in kits... joe2003 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ddavelarsen Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 Um - nox, that's not just a ladies thing! I support kits too. That said, this thread has really helped me to understand the differences I've noted just pushing about in the dark. Thanks to all of you for a great thread.

miatafrank Posted January 2, 2011 Author Share Posted January 2, 2011 First of all the video was a mirror image, so it made it harder to read the meter backwards. The meter was on AC volts and the outlet was tested, then without switching to DC the output of the ego was checked. What you couldn't see was that the reading on the outlet was in AC volts, and the reading on the ego was in AC millivolts. This is basically ripple voltage (which is more than I would have expected) on a DC source. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vaping_jake Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 BigJim; What did you measure after you switched the meter from ac to dc? At least the dial wasn't set for resistance...lmao Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vaping_jake Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Mistafrank; Now I know this question would be based on quality of manufactor, but let us assume they are all high quality vendors. I know what ***..u..me spells out. Wouldn't the design incorporate the losses of all paths to "guarantee" the voltage across the load to be the set value? Or current depends what side of the fence you want to view. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
