Hi all.
I have started a level 3 two year course on electrical installations after doing a 1 year level two.
Even though this is electrical, the amount of the course info that goes through circuits is phenomenal. So much that sometimes I wonder why would an electrician need to know all this like magnetism, motors, series and parallel circuits etc...
The fact is that if it wasn't for all this I would never be able to fault find a damaged capacitor on a computer power supply or a TFT screen or to trace an entire changing circuit on a laptop that was not charging the battery due to a damaged resister.
All that said, I am now looking to buy a good fairly decent multimeter suitable for this kind of electronics jobs.
I am contemplating FLUKE and a budget of up to £100.00 or up to £150.00 max.
I must say I have been looking at FLUKE 18B and FLUKE 117 though the 117 hasn't got mili and micro amps so I suppose 117 is not an option.
Anybody, please send in your opinions and help me out here.
Many thanks.
Albert
