Default Re: Peak voltage

Lucien i was originally wondering why the dc out from rectifier, with capacitor, was not closer to the peak. This has been explained.
However I may have been deceived by using a combination of my very old digital and analog meters, which you and others have explained.
I’m going to redo my readings and record the difference I get between the meters.
I’m going to dig out my still older AVO 7, I have ordered a new meter which is supposed to read true rms, but this won’t be with me for a few weeks.
I’ll also get my scope working and take a look at waveforms.
Cheers
John
