3.3.8 Measurement of main circuit voltages, currents and powers

Measurement of voltages and currents

Since the voltages and currents on the inverter power supply and output sides include harmonics, accurate measurement depends on the instruments used and circuits measured.

When instruments for commercial frequency are used for measurement, measure the following circuits using the instruments given on the next page.

Typical Measuring Points and Instruments

CAUTION

Use FFT (Fast Fourier Transforms) to measure the output voltage accurately. It cannot be measured accurately with a meter or general instrument.
