Unit Analysis Also known as Dimensional Analysis Used in everyday applications o At Work o At Grocery Store o At Home SI Units consists of base units and derived units o Seven Base

6 Unit Analysis Also known as Dimensional Analysis Used in everyday applications o At Work o At Grocery Store o At Home SI Units consists of base units and derived units o Seven Base Units Length = meter (m) Mass = kilogram (kg) Time = seconds (s) Electric Current = ampere (A) Temperature = kelvin (K) Amount of Substance = mole (mol) Luminous Intensity = candela (cd) 6

7 Unit Analysis SI Units consists of base units and derived units (cont.) o All others units are derived from base units Area = m 2 Volume = m 3 Force = m*kg*s -2 = newton (N) Energy = m 2 *kg*s -2 = N*m = joule (J) Power = m 2 *kg*s -3 = J/s = watt (W) Potential = m 2 *kg*s -3 *A -1 = W/A = volt (V) Useful when doing algebraic computations where you have a known quantities and an equation you just have to fill in the blank. o y = (slope*x) + b o F = mass * acceleration o V = I*R 7

19 Metering A SCADA system configuration requires maximum values (i.e. the actual value of the current when the transducer is full scale). The transducer has a full-scale ac current of 5A. Using a CT with turns ratio of 400:5, what is the maximum current value? What is the the secondary current when the transducer reads half the maximum current value? 19

20 Transformer Efficiency Test results for a 10kVA, 2300/230-V, single-phase transformer has the following test results: Open-circuit power consumption = 69W Short-circuit resistance = 10.9Ω What is the efficiency of the transformer when operated at full-load and unity power factor? 20
