One caution. Obtaining accurate voltage readings while on inverter power requires the use of a True RMS meter. An inexpensive True RMS meter will cost from $75 on up. If you check the voltage from your inverter with an inexpensive digital or analog meter the information is meaningless. Most inverters do not produce a true sine wave so when the meter computes the average voltage the result is unreliable. Good info. One caution.

I ONLY KNOW HOW TO USE IT ON BATTERIES AND NEED THE REST OF THE INFO FOR FUSES, RESISTANCE, ETC.
