MEASUREMENT POINTS AND METERS

Since the Drive's input/output voltage and current contain high frequencies, selection of the wrong measuring device
can lead to gross miscalculations. When using a CT (current-detection transformer) to measure the current, the amount
of error will be large if the frequency is low. Because of this, always use a CT with as large a capacity as possible. See
the following chart and Figure 7-2 for recommended measurement devices.
