RE: a warning

Thanks for the warning, I will be sure to do that. I think my flukes are not really "true rms" even though they say so right on the front. I just hooked up one of the units to a variac, put a 12sn7 on the output for a load and put my fluke on it as well to see what I would get. The newer fluke, the 179 read about 300 mVac. The older fluke, the 79III read 1.5 vac. I am going to give my scope a try next and see if I get anywhere near the 12vac I was expecting. I am going to have to by the right sized cap as well, don't seem to have one lying around.
One last question (for now : ) at least). My unit has both diodes on one side of the caps. Does it make any difference which pair of diodes I hook up too? Thanks!
