How can phantom voltage detected by a high-impedance meter be eliminated?

Next

Correct Incorrect Phantom voltage results from capacitive coupling, and applying a low impedance load discharges it to show the actual voltage.

How can phantom voltage detected by a high-impedance meter be eliminated?

• Switching to resistance mode
• Connecting a low impedance load across the circuit
• Increasing the meter's range
• Using a higher input impedance meter
