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.
