Measurement Method for I/O Voltage, Current, and Power
General measuring instruments for I/O voltage, current, and power are indicated below. The
voltage to be measured is the fundamental wave effective voltage and the power to be meas-
ured is the total effective value.
NOTE 1: Use a meter indicating a fundamental wave effective value for voltage, and meters
indicating total effective values for current and power.
NOTE 2: The inverter output waveform is a distorted wave, and low frequencys may cause
errors. However, the measuring instruments and methods indicated above provide
comparatively accurate values.
NOTE 3: A tester (general purpose) may not be suited often to measurement of a distorted
wave.
