6.3 Efficiency

To measure theefficiencyofthepower trainon theEVM, itisimportanttomeasure thevoltagesatthe correctlocation.Thisisnecessarybecause otherwisethemeasurements willincludelossesinefficiency thatarenotrelatedtothepower trainitself.Lossesincurredby thevoltagedropinthecoppertracesand intheinputand outputconnectorsarenotrelatedtotheefficiencyofthepower train,and theymust notbe includedinefficiencymeasurements. When measuringtheefficiencyofVout1,Vout2must be disabledby theuserviatheFusionGUI. Likewise,when measuringtheefficiencyofVout2,Vout1must be disabledby theuser.See thelistin Table5 fortheproperlocationstomeasure efficiency.
