Sparky Projects | Is this meter working ? @sparkyprojects | Uploaded July 2018 | Updated October 2024, 12 hours ago.
The normal way to check a meter is to use a multimeter to check the resistance, but doing that on this meter seemed to show open circuit, so you would think because of the 6KV full scale, that maybe there's over 20M Ohm of resistors inside, but that's not the case, see why
This meter doesn't need a rectifier to work on AC
Meter specs:
Ernest Turner Electrostatic meter
Model 32
