Ok my fluke is dead and my Mircronta is no better both of them stop at 1000V AC and DC. So I have been scroling through web sites and my eye's are bleeding.....I do not car if it is analog or digital and I am not a brand snob either. The only reason I own Fluke,Wagner,Klein, Milwaukee, and other high end brands is because I was an Electrical Worker and Union at that and we could by tools at cost through the company. They never took much out of each paycheck so as long as you did not quite with a balance their was no interest and no rush to repay.... So I do not care what companies name is on the case they are all made in Korea or China! It just has to have decent resolution and be at least as durable as my Radio SHack Micronta which is better then 15 years old and still going strong unlike my Fluke.
Ideally I would like something that went up to 3000V ac and DC current up to say not less then 2 amps. Digital or analog and I do not need anything else in it since I have the ability with my other 2-3 multimeters to test diodes, transistors, capacitance etc....Oh I do not care if it is bench top or hand held. I am only going to use it on amplifiers I build for myself and son. So not like I am going to be cranking 100amps a year to sell to people or making house calls....LOL
Most of the stuff I have seen stops at 1000VDC 750AC....
I considered using resistor inline but that seems to me like it would not be an accurate way to do things? I am not an electrical engineer though so if that is what everyone else does do give me the low down on how you do it. What I thought about doing was taking a down out from one of the amps I have specifications for and sticking resistors inline until I got a reading of Zero then using that value as a reference point.
Do they make probes with any type of attenuation factor for use with DMM's???
