OT Knowledge / Dodgy multimeter?
« Last post by andyoxon on Today at 03:42:50 pm »Last year I picked up a LIDL Parkside Multimeter PDM300 c3, for occasional home use.
I've noticed that this YT vid shows the unit failing to detect high overload voltages "Dangerous Parkside multimeter". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QxPIRtZb8Ck
What think the panel? AFAIA there there are no 1000V sources inside UK homes... it's not a 'professional' device.
Someone else (video99 on YT) recommends the unit, but says not wise that it uses the same inputs to make current measurments as high impedance measurements...
