Measurement of powers

Use digital power meters (for inverter) for the both of inverter input and output side. Alternatively,
measure using electrodynamic type single-phase wattmeters for the both of inverter input and out-
put side in two-wattmeter or three-wattmeter method. As the current is liable to be imbalanced es-
pecially in the input side, it is recommended to use the three-wattmeter method.
Examples of measured value differences produced by different measuring meters are shown below.
An error will be produced by difference between measuring instruments, e.g. power calculation type
and two- or three-wattmeter type three-phase wattmeter. When a CT is used in the current measuring
side or when the meter contains a PT on the voltage measurement side, an error will also be produced
due to the frequency characteristics of the CT and PT.
Measurement conditions:
Constant-torque (100%) load,
constant-output at 60 Hz or more. 3.7 kW, 4-pole motor,
value indicated in 3-wattmeter method is 100%
