Re: [TCML] how to determine some facts about ionizer module?

[Bert Pool <micro_wave@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Alan,
You will not destroy an electrostatic voltmeter (appropriate scale 
chosen, of course), and it can measure sources of very low current, such 
as this. 
If the voltage is D.C., it will directly read out the voltage.
If the voltage is A.C. the voltage indicated is the true RMS voltage.
