8-3 Measurement of Main Circuit Electrical Quantity

The indicated values depend on the type of meter because the harmonic component is included in the voltage and current of the main circuit power (input) and the output (motor) side of the inverter. When measuring with a meter for commercial power frequency use, use the meters shown in Table 8.3.1.

The power-factor cannot be measured using power-factor meters currently available on the market, which measure the phase difference between voltage and current. When power-factors must be measured, measure the power, voltage, and current on the input side and output side, then calculate the power-factor using the following formula:

 

Power factor =

Note: When measuring the output voltage using a rectifier type meter, an error may occur.

Use a digital AC power meter to ensure accuracy.
