AC Voltage Specifications
AC Voltage specifications are for ac sinewave signals >5 % of range. For inputs from 1 % to 5 % of range and <50 kHz,
add an additional error of 0.1 % of range, and for 50 kHz to 100 kHz, add 0.13 % of range.
Maximum Input ....................................................... 750 V rms or 1000 V peak (8845A), 1000 V rms or 1414 V peak
(8846A) or 8 x 10
7
volts-Hertz product (whichever is less) for any
range.
Measurement Method ............................................. AC-coupled true-rms. Measures the ac component of input with up to
1000 V dc bias on any range.
AC Filter Bandwidth:
Slow .................................................................... 3 Hz – 300 kHz
Medium ............................................................... 20 Hz – 300 kHz
Fast ..................................................................... 200 Hz – 300 kHz
Common Mode Rejection ....................................... 70
dB at 50 Hz or 60 Hz
±
0.1 % (1 k
Ω
unbalance)
Crest Factor Error (applies to non-sinusoidal waveforms only)
Maximum Crest Factor ....................................... 5:1 at Full Scale
