Notes:
1. To measure the output voltage, use
an instrument that reads the
effective value of the fundamental
wave. To measure the current or
power, use an instrument that reads
the effective value of full waves.
2. Since the inverter output waveform
is controlled by PWM, it has a large
margin of error, especially at low
frequencies. In many cases, general
testers may be inapplicable for the
measurement because of the
adverse effect of noise.
