Voltage readings are based on a thermal time constant of 30 minutes with
no more than a 60_ internal temperature rise. Internal component heating
is not to exceed 4 W at less than 30 minutes or 2 W at greater than
30 minutes. If the 4 W limit is exceeded in less than 30 minutes, then a
cool-down period of up to 2.5 hours is required for any further probe use.

Voltage ratings are based on a thermal time constant of 30 minutes.

The maximum pulse duration must not exceed 100 ms (see the derating
chart in Figure 1–5 on page 1–13).

the squares of the instantaneous voltage in one cycle = .
