Power and Energy Measurement EIE 240 Electrical and Electronic Measurement April 24, 2015 1 Work, Energy and Power Work is an activity of force and movement in the direction of force (Joules) Energy is the capacity for doing work (Joules) Power is the rate of using energy (Watt) P = W / t, Work done in the time = E/t, Energy transferred in the time 2 1
Electrical Power DC: Instantaneous power at time t P(t) = I(t) V(t) = I 2 (t) R = V 2 (t) / R AC: Mean power per one cycle P avg = 1/T t=0 T P(t) dt = I rms2 R = V rms2 / R 3 Apparent and True Power True power is the power used by the load in Watt unit (W), P = I 2 R = V 2 /R Reactive power in Volt-Amps-Reactive unit (VAR), Q = I 2 X = V 2 /X Apparent power is the power that is applied to the load in Volt-Amps unit (VA), S = I 2 Z = V 2 /Z where impedance Z = R + jx 4 2

Single-Phase Wattmeter (Cont d) Compensated wattmeter Compensating Supply Moving Load To reduce the systematic error, the compensating coil current is, however, in the opposite direction to the load current and cancels out the proportion of the magnetic flux due to the moving coil current (the same number of turns). 16 8
Crossed-Coil Power Factor Meter Two moving coils are crossed and connected in series to an inductor and resistor. For PF = 1, the coil with R will be in phase with the line current (moving), while the coil with L will be out of phase by 90 (no moving). For PF = 0, coil L moves and coil R does not move.
