Calculate this from the measured values of power supply voltage EIN,
power supply current IIN, and input electric power WIN.

Electrodynamic watt-

Two-wattmeter method (or
three-wattmeter method)
(WO1) + (WO2)
Output
power
factor
PfOUT
Calculate this from the measured values of output voltage EOUT, out-
put current IOUT, and output electric power WOUT.
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.
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.
