8.3 Measurement of Electrical Quantity in Main Circuit
Because the voltage and current of the main circuit power supply (input) and DC output of the converter contain
harmonic components, the readings may vary with the type of the meter. Use meters specified in Table 8.3-1 when
measuring with meters for commercial frequencies. For measurement at the inverter side, refer to the inverter
instruction manual.
The power factor cannot be measured by a commercially available power-factor meter that measures the phase
difference between the voltage and current. To obtain the power factor, measure the power, voltage and current on
each of the input and output sides and use the following formula.
Power factor =
x 100(%]

Note:
Because the waveform at the input terminals (L1/R, L2/S and L3/T) of the converter is under PWM, measurement
with a multimeter or the like causes large measurement errors. To measure the input voltage, measure at the point shown in
Figure 8.3-1.
