    Re: Cheap meters.

    What would be a good multimeter to get just to work on my tv? No need to break bank I don't use a multimeter much.Just wanted one to test out my samsung plasma tv

            something that will be good for working on this tv that i plan on giving to my in laws. I do not use multimeters often so i do not need something expensive.

                well i cant recommend some cheap shit if your using it in a plasma because the voltages get a bit high,

                this is a very good meter if you dont do anything stupid.

                and this has better safety fuses if your working on mains.

                sure, there are dozens of cheaper meters, but if you want to trust what you see and have good functions.
                well those are the ones before it really gets expensive.

                you can probably get them cheaper on aliexpress too - but delivery often takes forever.

                    Is it possible to test small ceramic disc capacitor with analogue meter?
                    by chth96
                    I read EBOOK of Testing Electronic Component and found that

                    "In order to test the small blue resin coated ceramic disk capacitor which has 104 50v specification,it is possible to test this small ceramic capacitor by making use of analogue meter.
                    Set to times 10Kohm that has 12v output from the probe to check disorder of ceramic capacitor.
                    It is not uncommon that testing result of digital capacitance meter is okay,But It show shorted reading when you check it with analogue meter."

                    Is it really possible to test small ceramic disc capacitor with analogue...

                    lowest current galvanometer/analog meter (passively powered!)
                    by eccerr0r
                    Most analog meters are actually current driven - a current is needed to deflect the pointer full scale. They can be lots of different values. There are ones that can take several amperes to swing the pointer as they have internal shunts.

                    On the other hand there are many that are rated in microamps for the intent that they draw as little power as possible from the devices under test. Some are 1mA, 500µA, 200µA, 100µA, and the ubiquitous 50µA frequently used in analog VOMs. There are even 20, 25, 30 µA and even down to 10µA. Been collecting a bunch of different ratings and...

                    Changing the scale of an analog meter
                    by jorpec
                    Hi

                    I want to change the scale of an analog meter, to monitor the charge of an li-ion single cell, so the needle at the end would point 4.2 volts and the 0 on the meter would point 2.5 volts or so, i tried to add diodes or a zener in series with the meter but the changes of the ambient temperature also changes the voltage value on the meter
                    I wonder how i can accomplish this so the meter would be precise at any temperature ?

                    How an incandescent light and a ESR meter ** friend**have a machine blowing fuses
                    by sam_sam_sam
                    About a month ago we had a transformer jumper wire that burned in two different places between two transformers caused over $200 thousand dollars worth of damage to VFD drives at least 10 of them and a memory card and quite a few power supply as well

                    Now we have most of the equipment that got damaged back up and running except a feeder that has issues and we are waiting for some parts for

                    Now we also have another piece of equipment that was blowing fuses on the 110 volt controller switch circuit with the “E” stops and one switching power (24 volt) supply and a transformer...

                    Modification of a Fluke multi meter that uses three AA batteries to use a 14500 lithium ion battery
                    by sam_sam_sam
                    I have had with regular AA batteries that leak this meter is expensive new I already replaced the battery battery clips once and the same thing happened again and I am tried of so it is getting modified to accommodate lithium ion batteries that are the same size excluding the positive terminal and removing the battery clips I will have enough room for the BMS protection board

                    I going to put 3 lithium ion battery in parallel with the BMS protection board and a way to charge the battery externally and heat shrink the battery pack and use a JST connector so I easily remove the battery...
