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 has a distorted waveform, and harmonic frequencies may cause erroneous readings. However, the measuring instruments and methods listed above provide reasonably accurate results.

Note 3: A general-purpose digital volt meter (DVM) is not usually suitable to measure a distorted waveform (not pure sinusoid).
