omron — Measurement Methods of I/O Voltage, Current, and Electric Power

6-1 Inspection and Maintenance 6 Note 1: For voltage, use a measurement device that displays effective values of fundamental wave. For current and electric power, use a measurement device that displays all effective values. Note 2: The Inverter output waveform, under PWM control, may have a margin of error, especially at a low frequency. Use the above measurement devices and methods to ensure accuracy. Note 3: General-purpose testers are not applicable for measurement in many cases.
