Make connections as shown below:
The rms voltage should be close to the nominal voltage, for example 120V
or 230V.
The waveform should be smooth and sinusoidal.
The frequency should be close to 50 or 60 Hz.
The Crest Factor CF is an indication of the amount of distortion. A high
Crest factor means high distortion.
Note
Nominal voltages and frequencies differ by country.
