How to measure ripple voltage on CRO

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

This discussion focuses on measuring ripple voltage using a Cathode Ray Oscilloscope (CRO). To measure ripple voltage, users should switch the input to AC, which allows for the extraction of the AC component from the DC signal. The ripple factor is defined as a percentage relative to the DC value, clarifying the distinction between ripple, ripple voltage, and ripple factor.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of AC and DC signals
  • Familiarity with Cathode Ray Oscilloscope (CRO) operation
  • Knowledge of electrical measurement terminology
  • Basic concepts of ripple voltage and ripple factor
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the operation of Cathode Ray Oscilloscopes (CRO) in detail
  • Learn about ripple voltage measurement techniques
  • Study the mathematical calculation of ripple factor
  • Explore AC and DC signal analysis methods
USEFUL FOR

Electronics students, electrical engineers, and technicians involved in signal measurement and analysis will benefit from this discussion.

can we measure ripple factor using same?

again what is difference between ripple, ripple voltage and ripple factor?

Hi ritucrown.

To measure the ripple voltage, switch the input to AC and that extracts the AC component from the DC.

I'd venture that ripple factor is a percentage, relative to the DC value.
