What is the AC voltage range on a Tic Tracer TIC 300HV in the low setting?

• A. 60 to 300 VAC
• B. 30 to 1500 VAC
• C. 0 to 500 VAC
• D. 120 to 240 VAC

Answer: (B)

The main idea here is understanding why this instrument’s low voltage setting covers a wide AC range. The TIC 300HV is designed to measure a broad spectrum of AC voltages, from about 30 VAC up to 1500 VAC, on its low setting. The lower limit around 30 VAC accounts for the device’s noise floor and accuracy needs, ensuring small but real voltages can be read reliably. The upper limit reaching 1500 VAC lets you verify higher mains voltages and some higher-voltage applications without changing ranges, all while staying within the tool’s safety and calibration envelope.

Other options don’t fit because a 60 to 300 VAC range would miss voltages below 60 V and above 300 V, a 0 to 500 VAC range wouldn’t reach the 1500 VAC upper limit, and a 120 to 240 VAC range would omit readings outside that narrow band, which isn’t consistent with how the TIC 300HV’s low setting is designed to operate.
