Hey,
I have a N19BW CAT III Multi Meter and a small disco light that plugged into the wall (before I removed the plug) and I want to connect it to a step down converter so I can power it from a 36v battery. I thought I knew how to get the voltage but I'm confused at the results so may have it wrong.
The plug says: Input-100v-240v AC 50/60Hz, Output 8.4v 1A
I set the MM to 600 VAC and when connected to the power wires I get a reading of 021 or 200 VAC 20.6
Am I using the wrong settings on the MM or reading it wrong? Could I just set the step down converter to 8.4v and be safe?
Thanks
