Thank you for watching. I appreciate the comment.

Hi from England, UK. I've got a true RMS meter which is essential for accurate readings with non sinusoidal waveforms, which the more basic meters are not made for, and they usually give miles less accurate readings for other waveforms, some of which are non symmetrical and have very different crest factors, like the waveform that feeds the tube heater on later generations of older CRT type TV set, where the voltage should usually be 6.3 volts but it only shows that voltage on a true RMS meter, the more basic type of meter usually shows only about 4.8 volts which is inaccurate.

I need to address crest factor in another video. For some waveforms, crest factor capabilities make a lot of difference. The narrow "shark fin" from an incandescent dimmer is a good example. Thank you for sharing your thoughts.

MITCH, When would a technician want to measure the average voltage? I'm not sure when to use the average voltage for what type of application and circuit would you want to measure the averaging of the voltage

A fair number less expensive DMMs you can purchase are "average responding" instruments. They work fine on pure waveforms and will offer accurate voltage and current measurements. They are challenged when confronted with altered or misshapen waveforms. I always recommend that technicians use True RMS instruments for accuracy.
