Frequently asked questions

When is average response 'good enough'?

Clean sinusoidal heating loads. LED drivers and many PSUs are not that.

Does True RMS fix a loose jaw?

No—mechanical jaw seating still dominates accuracy.

Why building maintenance teams care?

False overload calls waste visits when non-linear lighting is the real waveform.

Any honesty check before buying?

Confirm True RMS is stated for the current function you will use, not only voltage.
