Measurement of main circuit voltages, currents and powers

PRECAUTIONS FOR MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION
Measuring points and instruments
Use an FFT to measure the output voltage accurately. A tester or general measuring instrument cannot measure accurately.
When the carrier frequency exceeds 5 kHz, do not use this instrument since using it may increase eddy current losses produced in metal parts
inside the instrument, leading to burnout. In this case, use an approximate-effective value type.
When the setting of Pr.195 ABC1 terminal function selection is the positive logic
A digital power meter (designed for inverter) can also be used to measure.
