I have a Radio Shack electrical multi-meter that's about 10 years old. Please tell what I already suspect, but would like to confirm.
I have a circuit for the layout lighting that's supplied from a 12 volt DC transformer. I run the load through a potentiometer to drop the voltage down to 10 volts and use a panel mounted volt meter to confirm the voltage drop. Also, the fixtures on this circuit are dimmer which indicates operating at a lower voltage.
When I check the circuit at a terminal strip with my multi-meter, the voltage always exceeds 12 volts.
Bad meter?
Thanks.
