1 ms Peak Hold
This function allows the measurement of half- cycle peak
voltage for the the analysis of components such as power
distribution transformers and power factor correction
capacitors. The peak voltage obtained can be used to
determine the crest factor:
Crest factor = Peak value/True RMS value
1 Press for more than 1 second to toggle 1 ms Peak
Hold mode ON / OFF.
2 Press to scroll through maximum and minimum
peak readings. MAX indicates the maximum peak,
while MIN indicates the minimum peak.
3 Press or for more than 1 second to exit
this mode.
4 According to the measurements in Figure 3- 6 on the next
page, the crest Factor will be 2.5048/1.768 =1.416.
NOTE
• If the reading is "OL", press to change the measuring range
and to re-start the peak-recording measurement.
• If you need to re-start the peak recording, press
