TRANSCRIPT
Power and energy measurement in RLC circuits.
The current in a serial RLC circuit amounts to:
I = I0sin(ωt)
Voltage at the terminals of the source:
U = U0sin(ωt + φ)
Power constant current
The power of direct current could be measured using a voltmeter and an ammeter joined according to the schemes shown in the picture.
In both systems , the power is equal to: P=U*I
The alternating current power is described in the following patterns:
Active power P=U*I*cosφ Reactive power Q=U*I*sinφ Apparent power S=U*I
To measure the active power of alternating current wattmeters are used. In the electrodynamic wattmeter stationary coil the current is connected in series with the receiver of electricity, and the moving coil voltage parallel to the receiver.
Active power
Reactive power
To measure the reactive power a specialized power meter is used . The reactive power meter is different from a regular wattmeter.
Apparent powerApparent power is the power that appears because of the circuit
impedance. Apparent power is the combination of true power and reactive power.
To calculate apparent power, you may use either of the following
formulas:
The project is realized with the finance support of the European Commission within the "Longlife learning program".
