5.3.9 Measurement of main circuit voltages, currents and power
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.

Note: Use an FFT to measure the output voltage accurately. Accurate measurement cannot be made if you
use a tester or general measuring instrument.
