How to measure output voltage and current? | Shihlin Electric

AC drive outputs PWM-controlled square wave, it may show different value when measure instrument or circuit changes, so, using AM-5 or FM-DS on AC drive or monitoring the value on board of AC drive is suggested when wanting to know the value of output current or voltage. And rectifier wavemeter is a better selection among instruments since it shows higher value than real one when using analog meter. Find quick answers in the Shihlin Electric FAQ—selection, wiring and troubleshooting for circuit breakers, magnetic contactors, AC drives, servo, HMI and PLC control.
