Electrical "surges" -- converter damage?
My neighbor is hyperventilating. They're from Italy, their first fifth wheel. I've had the same analog meter plug for 7 years and it's always worked well. It's showing a very steady current, haven't had any light/tv blinking to suggest there's a disruption. I took my meter over to his place and it's showing the same over there but his digital multimeter is doing some blinking and he lost power today, has it back but now his converter is making strange sounds. They have had some blinking of lights. Later I found my large multimeter with the two probes and tested my own rig again. It was rock solid.
He says that a very small change in the current can cause a converter to blow -- is that the case? It's clear something happened but could the converter have just been bad? He took his digital multimeter around to all the unoccupied posts in the park and says they're all blinky. It's a 2011 Cameo.
