How to measure an AC voltage of 220V with the UT161E multimeter?

Question

Accepted Answer

Here’s how to measure an AC voltage of 220V with your Uni-T UT161E multimeter:

Set the rotary selector to the V~ (AC voltage) position. The UT161E automatically detects the appropriate range thanks to its auto-ranging feature.
Connect the test leads: the black lead into the COM socket (ground) and the red lead into the VΩmA socket (voltage).
Bring the test probes close to the 220V AC source you wish to measure. The multimeter will display the voltage in volts on its screen.

Safety: The UT161E is rated CAT II 1000V / CAT III 600V, which means it is designed to safely measure the household voltage of 220V. This voltage is well below the safety limits of the device.
