Making Measurements
Crest Factor
The crest factor may be determined by using this formula:
You may refer to
the peak values.
The crest factor may be up to 3.0 at full-scale except for the 1000 V range where
it is 1.5 at full scale, as explained in the table below:
Exceeding the crest factor limit may result in an incorrect or a lower reading.
WARNING
Do not exceed the crest factor limit to avoid instrument damage and the risk
of electric shock.
