AC Voltage Riding on a DC Source
Bias Measurement
You can measure an AC voltage which is
superimposed on a DC voltage source bias.
Press the AC switch in. However, NEVER
ATTEMPT TO MEASURE OVER 1000V
AC/DC.

AC Voltage Riding on a DC Source Bias
Hints: When you are using the meter to probe
for a voltage in a High Voltage circuit, we
recommend that you do not try to position
both of the probes at once. Instead, you
should clamp one of the leads to the neutral
or ground lead of the circuit (usually a bare,
green or white lead) using our Insulated Slip-
On Alligator Clips (Cat. No. 270-354), and
then probe for voltages with the other probe.
This helps to prevent you from accidentally
touching a “hot” wire, since you need only
concentrate on one test probe. Never clamp
on to a “hot” wire, (usually red, black or
blue), since if you did so and then touched
the other probe connected to the meter, you
could receive an electric shock.
