Settling Considerations

 

Applying >300 V rms (or >1 A rms) will cause self-heating in
signal-conditioning components. These errors are included in
the instrument specifications. Internal temperature changes
due to self-heating may cause additional error on lower ac
voltage ranges. The additional error will be less than 0.02%
of reading and will generally dissipate within a few minutes.
