Discharging High Voltage Capacitor with a DMM

Awesome video. Merry Christmas Joe.

Great video Joe as always. Very informative thing to know. Most meters I own are the brands you used in the test that had no issues handling it. A Merry Christmas to you and your family too. Don’t forget a nice rawhide bone for that sweet pooch. I can hear that nice bark, great watchdog I can guess.

Glad I bought a fluke and not Dave's meter!

Hard to kill a Fluke. Just ask Dave about that!

My first DMM was a Fluke. It had no input protection and was easily damaged. kzbin.info/www/bejne/hZOuoKCrgbGki5o

Those are some nice meters - too bad they are all "blown up". ; ) I wonder what meter you have for personal use?

Uni t is managed to leave uncooked 😂...

Curious that you don't use parts from an actual microwave... they are cheap as chips.

The polypropylene capacitors were chosen for the their high dv/dt and peak current ratings.
