Measurement Of Main Circuit Voltages, Currents And Powers - Mitsubishi Electric FR-A700 Instruction Manual

Measurement of main circuit voltages,
currents and powers

6.2 Measurement of main circuit voltages, currents and powers

Since the voltages and currents on the inverter power supply and output sides include harmonics, measurement
data depends on the instruments used and circuits measured.
When instruments for commercial frequency are used for measurement, measure the following circuits with the
instruments given on the next page.
When installing meters etc. on the inverter output side
When the inverter-to-motor wiring length is large, especially in the 400V class, small-capacity models, the meters
and CTs may generate heat due to line-to-line leakage current. Therefore, choose the equipment which has
enough allowance for the current rating.
When measuring and indicating the output voltage and output current of the inverter, it is recommended to utilize
the AM-5 and FM-SD terminal output function of the inverter.
