[QUOTE="XTRProBoy, post: 2466873, member: 571009"] True and false. You do want to use a True RMS meter to get an accurate measurement. However a non TrueRMS meter does not measure AC at a fixed 60Hz in most cases. Usually one of two methods are used to measure AC voltage on a non-RMS meter. One is by rectifying the wave, the other is by displaying an average voltage (average voltage is [B]not[/B] RMS by the way). So yes you do want to use a True RMS meter but no it's not measuring at fixed 60Hz if it isn't True RMS. [/QUOTE]
