- the active component of the current flowing through the inverter is particularly suitable for this the active component of the current flowing through the inverter. Because the inverter usually supplied with an approximately constant DC voltage the active component of the current flowing through the inverter is proportional to the electrical power fed into the inverter. To determine the Active component of the aforementioned current will preferably be the voltage drop a resistance evaluated during a switching phase of the inverter is flowed through by the entire current of the inverter. This voltage drop is also proportional to the electrical fed into the inverter Power.
