Re: Is Seasonic SS-660KM PSU ErP Ready
It's just a tester without a case. No problems whatsoever. I still haven't built a case for mine, and I've had it for close to a year now. I'm pretty diligent about storing it in its box when not in use, though.
In that case, you're indeed better off by getting a multimeter first.
In fact, if you do or intend to do any kind of electronic repair / troubleshooting / designing, a multimeter is probably one of the first tools you should have. The transistor tester mentioned above is probably most useful if you plan to do a lot of PC, power supply, and amplifier repairs, as you will often encounter electrolytic caps on those that may need testing.
No, the accuracy is not bad at all, especially for ESR and capacitance testing. Only the Vloss for capacitors is not accurate... but who cares about that parameter anyways? I use mine (a GM328 green PCB) almost exclusively for testing electrolytic capacitors, and so far it's been tremendously helpful in finding which are bad and which aren't.
When it comes to transistor testing, I still use the oldschool diode check on my multimeter, as I find it a more reliable test method and also able to check the transistor in circuit in most cases (only when able to account for any parallel components, of course).
Don't even get me started on that topic. I'll just say that I am glad that my car doesn't have this "feature". (My car is old enough to still have a throttle cable, thankfully )
