If your meter has a min/max feature, preset the range for higher voltage and record the max voltage for the VS and VA.

If it doesn't have the min/max, just read the highest value you see before it shuts down.

John,

Right, will switch to DC readings. The meter has no min/max function, as it's just a cheapie from Harbor Freight. It's all I have. I will open the set again tonight and get updated readings for you.
