Re: Hotpoint FFA47X Fridge Freezer
Also I would like to check Q17 ACS108 triac which I believe is a TO-92 format ( from data sheet) but wondered if I use EEPROM ground and then proved each leg would it give me a voltage reading or, with EEPROM running around 5V, would it blow something to smithereens again if I probe a leg of a component which I believe should be getting 240VAC.
I am guessing something special must happen with a DIGITAL VMM because the probe leads are thin and unable to take 600Vac so I am guessing the current is somehow reduced inside meter? I suppose what I am trying to find out is does a meter transfer a current large enough to blow a component if pribes are placed willy-nilly across random components.
This is why I am fearful of testing when I don't fully understand.
