What's the problem? How exactly do you expect your meters to agree? Your meters aren't made by HP. Are they NIST calibrated? Nope.
Wiggle your cables in the sockets to see if there'e better agreement. Corrosion will result in voltage drops. You're splitting hairs here. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif) |
