(moving-iron type cannot
measure)
Difference between the phases is within 1% of the
maximum output voltage.

Difference between the phases is 10% or lower of
the rated inverter current.

∗1 Use an FFT to measure the output voltage accurately. An FA tester or general measuring instrument cannot measure accurately.
∗2 When the carrier frequency exceeds 5kHz, do not use this instrument since using it may increase eddy-current losses produced in metal parts inside the
instrument, leading to burnout. In this case, use an approximate-effective value type.
∗3 When the setting of Pr. 192 A,B,C terminal function selection is positive logic
∗4 T/L3 is only for the three-phase power input specification models.
