To measure ripple AC voltage, use an oscilloscope or a true RMS multimeter. Connect the oscilloscope probes across the output where the ripple voltage is present, ensuring proper grounding. Set the oscilloscope to an appropriate time base to visualize the waveform, and measure the peak-to-peak voltage to determine the ripple magnitude. For a multimeter, select the AC voltage setting and connect the leads across the same output to get a reading of the ripple voltage.
Measure AC voltage with multimeter. It is easiest way to check how big ripple is. There is no way to 'calculate' value.
When checking for ripple on a power supply, you should set the meter to the AC voltage setting. Connect the meter probes across the output terminals of the power supply while it is under load, if possible. This allows you to measure any AC voltage fluctuations (ripple) superimposed on the DC output. Ensure that the range is appropriate for the expected ripple voltage level.
Ripple voltage is a voltage with an impure wave that isn't stable at all. Usually when you overload an AC to DC converter, it tends to do that.
A: Ripple is a residual voltage evident as voltage following the AC input frequency. The ripple magnitude is a function of not enough of both filtering capacitance or overloading the output. Increasing capacitance will reduce the ripple or reducing the loading
You cant.

Most true RMS voltmeters can measure the value of a ripple voltage on top of a DC supply, when you place it in AC mode. You can also place a small capacitor in series with a DC voltmeter and that would measure the ripple. The real way to do this, because ripple voltage is not sinusoidal, is to use an oscilloscope, particularly if you want the peak values.

Ripple is measured in terms of the peak-to-peak voltage variation in an AC signal, typically expressed as a percentage of the average voltage level. It is often quantified as a percentage of the DC voltage or as a specific value in millivolts. Lower ripple values indicate a more stable voltage supply.
it is nothing but ac ripple neutralizer
You cant.
No, you cannot accurately measure the output voltage of an Automatic Voltage Regulator (AVR) using a DC meter, as the AVR typically regulates AC voltage for the generator. A DC meter is designed for measuring direct current voltage, while the voltage output from a generator is usually alternating current (AC). To measure the AC voltage effectively, you would need an AC voltmeter or a multimeter set to the AC voltage setting.
Many can measure both - Vrms (AC) or DC voltage.
To measure the ripple frequency in a bridge rectifier circuit, use an oscilloscope to observe the output voltage waveform. The ripple frequency is typically twice the input AC frequency if the diodes are functioning properly since the rectifier conducts during both halves of the AC cycle. If the ripple frequency is lower than expected, it may indicate that one or more diodes are open, preventing proper rectification. Comparing the measured frequency to the expected value helps diagnose the condition of the diodes.
To measure AC voltage using a multimeter, set the dial to the AC voltage setting. Connect the black probe to the common terminal and the red probe to the voltage terminal. Place the probes across the circuit or component you want to measure. Read the voltage displayed on the multimeter screen.
