Hi guys,
I'm using multisim to simulate a simple bridge rectifier.
One thing I'm not understanding is "how to measure the rectified DC voltage correctly with a multimeter".
I'm getting values way too high, I would expect it to be lower.
the XMM3 Multimeter -> way too high of what I'm expecting 24.635V . (or i'm not understanding something)
This lead me to think the multimeter it was showing Peak voltage instead of RMS.
So I calculated : RMS= pkV/sqrt2 --> 17,419V but it doesnt seem to be correct if I compare it with the XMM2 RMS voltage.
Hopefully you guys can give me some advice.
