What would you set your multi meter to to check for 750mv with no actual mv scale?
-
milli = thousandths of something.
There are 1000 millivolts in one volt.
Look at your meter.
What are your choices?
-
-
Which do you want to measure?
ac or dc?
-
well it's a thermopile for a gas boiler
-
That narrows it down.
A thermopile is a big thermocouple.
Have you tried your meter on it yet?
-
so what does a thermocouple generate ac or dc? I always thought dc
-
That's a good question, and the one you could have started this thread with.
Another name for a thermopile is a pilot generator.
Generators produce DC.
-
Yes and you will be darned lucky to get 750 mv off that power pile.
-
it is not worth it to check
replace it and clean the pilot burner at the same time

0.00075v = 750uv microvolts
0.75v = 750mv millivolts
1000v = 1kv kilovolts

Now THAT's a first!
Careful, ct2, you'll give me a swelled head. 
( I do use that sort of thing in class. Last I heard, math was a necessary skill.)
My motivation for posting & reading on this forum is the same as everybody else's.
I learn something EVERY time I log on, because I don't know it all.
