You never need to measure the DC voltage.  It's
always 1.414 x the Erms,


>> Only on the  assumption that what you're measuring is a sine wave, or
something of identical form factor.....


so you are actually
measuring Erms and then just recalibrating the
meter face to reflect the actual measured DC
potential.  No messing around with HV resistors, etc.
