Default voltage of dimmer output not reading same on two different DVM's

============================

This blows Phil's statement out the water which is rare, there is no TRMS in DC.


" true RMS " = DC equivalent value for the *heating* effect on a resistance.

Known. but a DC meter might not be set up for that.


** You are not paying proper attention.

DC voltage and true RMS voltage are equivalent.
DC meters read the average, DC value of a wave.
