AC Specifications
Table 6 - 18 AC specifications with accuracy of ± (% of reading + No. of Least Significant
Digit)
[1] Input impedance: 10 MW (nominal) in parallel with <100 pF, with overload protection of
1000 V R.M.S.
[2] ACV and AC μA/mA/A specifications are true RMS AC coupled, valid from 5% to 100% of range.
The crest factor may up to 3 at full scale and for 1000 V range, the crest factor is 1.5 at full scale.
For non-sinusoidal waveforms with crest factor ≤ 3, add 2% reading + 2% full scale typical.
[3] Current can be measured from 50 mA to 440 mA continuously. An additional 0.2% needs to be
added to the specified accuracy if the signal measured is in the range of 440 mA to 1100 mA for 30
seconds maximum. After measuring current of > 440 mA, leave the meter to cool down for twice
the measuring time used before application of low current measurement.
[4] Current can be measured from 0.5 A up to 10 A continuously with the maximum operating
temperature of 50 °C. An additional 0.3% needs to be added to the specified accuracy if the signal
measured is in the range of 10 A to 19.999 A for 15 seconds maximum. After measuring a current
of >10 A, leave the meter to cool down for 60 seconds before applying low current measurement.
