    The adapter for the superbeast is a must to check the return on the neutral.

    Really though one can do a lot with a simple hair dryer plugging 5 amps.
    I prefer the analog display, it can show fluctuations much better than a digital display, kind of like the old analog voltmeters versus the new digital ones. Sometimes the numerical display and changing value really doesn't mean anything, but you can pretty much bet your paycheck on a fluctuating meter needle.

    Ummmmm yall prolly already know this but on most of the digital Voltmeters there is also a bar graph at the bottom of the display. That bar graph will move way faster that the digital readout. and help clue you that there may be a prollem somewhere.

    ......actually ,i didnt know,,,,,,,,at least I havent seen one........like Tramp said,I too like the analogs better....at least for troubleshooting..........the digitals sometimes show a ground when theres not one...........the analogs show a ground and you can bet it is a ground.
