Hey all...
Can anybody tell me in laymans terms what the real usefulness of a "True RMS" multimeter is as compared to the other nonRMS meters for boat use? I ask this in light of the fact that 90% of my measurements are voltage and of that prob 75% are DC. It is my understanding that RMS is really only useful for measuring AC Current.
I am in the market for a new digital since my dog managed to knock my old one in the drink. I have always had very simple (read cheap ~$40) meters which have done everything except clamp on current. I know Fluke is a quality name but true RMS and clamp on starts getting $$$ real quick. Sears (Craftsman but who knows what brand they really are) sells what looks like a very nice meter. NonRMS, clamp on AC and DC current and temp probe fopr abt $80- 15% sale for Fathersday
Thanks
