AC
and 60 Hz, and turn the power supply off.
2. Connect the line lead from the AC power supply to the line pin on the J1 connector of the EVM.
3. Connect the neutral lead from the AC power supply to the neutral pin on the J1 connector of the EVM.
4. Connect a 0-mA to 27-mA load between J2 connecter terminals of the EVM.
