Note 1. For the output voltage, use a measuring instrument that shows effective values of fundamental wave.
For the current and the electric power, use a measuring instrument that shows all effective values.
Note 2. The output waveform of the inverter has a margin of error
, especially at low frequencies, because it was
generated under PWM control. Note that many general-purpose testers may not be usable due to noise.
