Didn't you use the meter to test the frequency? Should be no different checking voltage.

I dare not measure it with my meter as I was told it would cause more damamge to do so...!? I have put one of those neon test screwdrivers on it - and it lights up.

Do you recommend measuring with a meter?

Cheers,
TOM
