 Electro Industries/GaugeTech Doc # E107706 V1.2 5 1-2 Fig 1.2: Phasor Diagram Showing Three-phase V oltages and Currents Q The phasor diagram shows the 120 o angular separation between the phase voltages. The phase-to- phase voltage in a balanced three-phase wye system is 1.732 times the phase-to-neutral voltage. The center point of the wye is [...]

1.1.2: Delta Connection Q Delta connected services may be fed with either three wires or four wires. In a three-phase delta service the load windings are connected from phase-to-phase rather than from phase-to-ground. Figure 1.3 shows the physical load connections for a delta service. In this example of a delta service, three wires will transmit th[...]

single three-phase reading. Some digital meters calculate the individual phase power values one phase at a time. This means the meter samples the voltage and current on one phase and calculates a power value. Then it samples the second phase and calculates the power for the second phase. Finally , it samples the third phase and calculates that phas[...]

1.2: Power, Energy and Demand Q It is quite common to exchange power , ener gy and demand without differentiating between the three. Because this practice can lead to confusion, the differences between these three measurements will be discussed. Q Power is an instantaneous reading. The power reading provided by a meter is the present flow of watts.[...]

T able 1.2: Power and Energy Relationship Over T ime As in T able 1.2, the accumulated energy for the power load profile of Figure 1.7 is 14.92 kWh. Q Demand is also a time-based value. The demand is the average rate of ener gy use over time. The actual label for demand is kilowatt-hours/hour but this is normally reduced to kilowatts. This makes it[...]

Q Figure 1.8 shows another example of energy and demand. In this case, each bar represents the energy consumed in a 15-minute interval. The ener gy use in each interval typically falls between 50 and 70 kWh. However , during two intervals the ener gy rises sharply and peaks at 100 kWh in interval number 7. This peak of usage will result in setting [...]

Q The voltage (V) and the total current (I) can be combined to calculate the apparent power or V A. The voltage and the in-phase current (IR) are combined to produce the real power or watts. The volt- age and the quadrature current (IX) are combined to calculate the reactive power . The quadrature current may be lagging the voltage (as shown in Fig[...]

result, it does not include the impact of harmonic distortion. Displacement power factor is calculated using the following equation: Displacement PF = cos θ, where θ is the angle between the voltage and the current (see Fig. 1.9). In applications where the voltage and current are not distorted, the T otal Power Factor will equal the Displacement [...]

Figure 1.1 1: Distorted Current W ave Q The distortion observed in Figure 1.1 1 can be modeled as the sum of several sinusoidal waveforms of frequencies that are multiples of the fundamental 60 Hz frequency . This modeling is performed by mathematically disassembling the distorted waveform into a collection of higher frequency waveforms. These high[...]

Q Inductive and capacitive impedance are present in all power systems. W e are accustomed to thinking about these impedances as they perform at 60 Hz. However , these impedances are subject to frequency variation. X L = j ω L and X C = 1/j ω C At 60 Hz, ω = 377; but at 300 Hz (5 th harmonic) ω = 1,885. As frequency changes impedance changes and[...]

1.5: Power Quality Q Power quality can mean several different things. The terms "power quality" and "power quality problem" have been applied to all types of conditions. A simple definition of "power quality problem" is any voltage, current or frequency deviation that results in mis-operation or failure of customer equ[...]
