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.
