General Inverter Electrical Measurements

The following table specifies how to measure key system electrical parameters. The
diagrams on the next page show inverter-motor systems and the location of
measurement points for these parameters.

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 low frequencies may cause
erroneous readings. However, the measuring instruments and methods listed above
provide comparably accurate results.

Note 3:

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