if Vcc is 1000V and Vbe 0.6V comes from function generator, how doesn't a function generator get damaged by such high voltage?

Update:

If function generator (or any signal source) modifies Vbe, then it does indeed have to do with it.

Update 2:

You just repeated all i wrote without any need to do so. Use your intelligence to give answers or don't answer.

    Vcc is the term used for collector supply voltage, and Vbe is used for base-emitter voltage. Both are DC voltages. Vcc is a supply voltage that is typically 5-12 volts but could be as high as 1000 volts with high voltage transistors. Vbe is typically 0.6-0.8 volts for silicon junction transistors.

    None of this has anything to do with a function generator, which is a variable generator providing variable voltage and frequency sine, square, triangular waveforms. Typically this type of generator has a max voltage output of 20 volts peak to peak.

    To repeat, a function generator does NOT provide Vcc and Vbe voltages.
