3.1 Voltage Measurement Measurement Examples 3.1 Voltage Measurement In the explanation below, we measure AC voltage fluctua- tions for a one-week period using an AC transducer (0~10 VDC rms value output for 0~150 VAC) as an example. Moni- tor voltage fluctuations for a one-week period by measuring the output voltage every minute.
