To power my Amp meter, I am using this converter:
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00BXAM694/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20
I've got a doorbell transformer, bringing down the AC voltage from 120 to about 19v, based on my multi meter readings, However, the converter is reading ~21 VDC on the out side... I've turned the screw about 30-50 times counter clockwise and it continues to read ~21V VDC out..
Is this thing broken? or am I not using my multi meter correctly? Is it even possible to have a higher DC voltage then the AC voltage coming in?
Already burned up 1 AMP meter, trying to get the out put reading in the right spot, before I hook the new one up.
Thank you in advance for your help.
