Scott, I very much prefer the two-channel o'scope dual-probe method using the A-B function. Alternatively a differential o'scope probe is an option, although they tend to be rather pricey. It is usually not necessary to get high speed probes as this is only line frequency.
It is inadvisable to isolate the o'scope and use the grounding pin on Neutral as any errors can cause the o'scope chassis to go live. In that case, even the set screws holding knobs on the controls would be a potential shock hazard. -Doug Douglas E Powell Laporte, Colorado USA doug...@gmail.com LinkedIn <https://www.linkedin.com/in/coloradocomplianceguy/> (UTC -06:00) Mountain Time (US-MDT) On Mon, Oct 17, 2022 at 9:17 AM Scott Xe <scott...@gmail.com> wrote: > In order to judge if there is no risk of electric shock from charged > capacitors, it is required to measure the voltage across L and N of mains > plug after the removal of power input.
