Maybe try reversing the DC polarity on the meter to see if that has an effect on the reading?

[@bertblankenstein3738]

Good enough for 'stralia. In the kV magnitude, you are probable dealing with high energy circuits where a few uA won't matter.

Would say PCB leakage would be a bigger factor, but low humidity inside will mitigate that. Try leaving one in the sun in a car for a day, then put in a plastic sealed bin to hold the high humidity in, and try again fast in the lab, to see just how much PCB leakage is.

Very interesting! Yeah that's very good.

Those graphs are for 20-23 C, I guess. But Australia can be sunny hot outside. Possibly meter lyied somewhere on the sunny window, get 50-60 C.

[@Krawacik3d]

Wouldn't different values of MOV in series cause different voltage drops across them, possibly triggering lowest-rated one, which would trigger remaining ones in a cascading manner?

Too bad your Multimeter doesnt Amp to 11. (that`s where the headroom really matters.) 11*11 is where things get serious.

Nice!

[@MikeB_UK]

Jeez, who would have thought a top tier multimeter manufacturer like Brymen would know what they were doing? 🙄

[@myleft9397]

His doesn't just go to 11 it goes to 12!!!

First ?
