You must use a True RMS (TRMS) meter, not an ordinary multimeter (average reading), because the voltage is pulsed.

I used a Fluke 114, which claims to be TRMS. Unless there's a way to turn on and off TRMS, I did read the manual, but couldn't find anything that said that so I assumed the AC setting would work as TRMS as default. But yeah it said 2.2 and would waver around there between like 2.17 and 2.29.
