6.8 Methods of Measuring the Input/Output Voltages, Current, and Power

Notes:
1. To measure the output voltage, use an
instrument that reads the effective
value of the fundamental wave. To
measure the current or power, use an
instrument that reads the effective
value of full waves.
2. Since the inverter output waveform is
controlled by PWM, it has a large
margin of error, especially at low
frequencies. In many cases, general
testers may be inapplicable for the
measurement because of the adverse
effect of noise.
