I've recently acquired a Minipa ET-997 multimeter. I noticed that when I connected one probe to 127V phase and let the other disconnected, it will show around 12V.
But I have an older and cheaper multimeter which shows 0V in this same situation. Why is that?
Another thing, the older multimeter shows -127V when the black probe is on the phase wire and the red probe is on the neutral wire. And it shows +127 when the red probe is on phase and the black probe is on neutral. Therefore, I can easily tell which is phase and which is neutral. Minipa ET-997 always shows 127V, no matter how the probes are connected. Is there a way to "fix" this?
