Power measurement

The gassed power draw should be measured using the techniques described in Section 4-3. 

The basic method to measure electrical power consumed by a load is to connect an ammeter in series with the load and a voltmeter across the load. In a DC circuit, the power is obtained by multiplying current with voltage. The same is true for an AC circuit where only a resistive load is concerned. In this case, the current and voltage are in phase. In an AC circuit, where the load has an inductive or capacitive component, the current and voltage are no longer in phase. 

In an AC circuit with an inductive or capacitive component, there are two types of power. One is true or useful power, which is capable of doing useful work, e.g., turning the rotor of a motor. The other power is reactive power that cannot do useful work. Total power, which is known as apparent power, is the vectorial sum of true power and reactive power. The ratio between true power and apparent power is known as the power factor of the circuit. 

The power factor, which is always less than 100%, is a function of the phase difference between the current and voltage in a circuit. The apparent power in a circuit can he measured hy the basic volt and ammeter method. To distinguish apparent power from true power, apparent power is stated in units of volts-amperes. The true power, which is stated in units of watts, is measured by a wattmeter. 

The power consumption of the barrel and die heaters can be determined by measuring voltage and current to the heater. This works well in current proportioned temperature control. It does not work well with on-off control or time-proportioning temperature control. In the latter case, a wattmeter should be used with a power integrating function. In this case, the integrated power over a certain time period can be measured so that the average power consumption of the barrel heater can be established. Commercial extruders generally do not have sufficient instrumentation

In this case the only variation is the magnetization power, measured in Ampere Turn. 

If the pump manufacturer uses motors for pump power measurement, these motors ate caUbrated to determine the horsepower from the electric power reading and caUbration curves. Such test motors ate recaUbrated periodically, ensuring the same degree of accuracy as shown by the torque meters. 

Add the net no-load loss and stator copper loss on load and subtract their sum from the stator input power measured on load. The remainder is the power input to the rotor. 

A directional G/F relay basically is a power-measuring device, and is operated by the residual voltage of the system in conjunction with the residual current detected by the three CTs used for non-directional protection, as shown in Figure 21.19. To provide directional protection, therefore, a residual VT is also essential, in addition to the three residual CTs. The voltage phasor is used as a reference to establish the relative displacement of the fault current. In healthy conditions, i.e. when the current flows in the right direction. = 0. (refer to. Section 15.4.3 for details), and the relay remains inoperative. The relay operates only when the current flows in the reverse direction. 

These equations are ealled the moment equations, beeause we are effeetively taking moments of the data about a point to measure the dispersion over the whole set of data.

If the instruments are in, the meter run was available, and gas composi-tion can be accurately determined as needed, one last minor hurdle should be addressed. This is power measurement. The indirect method, such as heat balance can be used. In fact, it should be used as a redundant method. 

Electrical resistivity measurements have also been performed on individual SWCNT and on bundles of SWCNT. In the latter case thermoelectric power measurements have been carried out very recently (cf. Sec. 5.3.2). 

Table 6.2 presents an overview of surface-emissive powers measured in the British Gas tests, as back-calculated from radiometer readings. Peak values of surface-emissive powers were approximately 100 kW/m higher than these average values, but only for a short duration. Other large-scale tests include those conducted to investigate the performance of fire-protection systems for LPG tanks.

The surface-emissive power E, the radiation per unit time emitted per unit area of fireball surface, can be assumed to be equal to the emissive powers measured in full-scale BLEVE experiments by British Gas (Johnson et al. 1990). These entailed the release of 1000 and 2(XK) kg of butane and propane at 7.5 and IS bar. Test results revealed average surface-emissive powers of 320 to 370 kW/m see Table 6.2. A value of 350 kW/m seems to be a reasonable value to assume for BLEVEs for most hydrocarbons involving a vapor mass of 1000 kg or more.

Low frequency impedance measurements are very similar to thermoelectric power measurements in that impedance is also sensitive to changes in the electron bands of the steel because the addition of hydrogen results in changes in the material resistivity. Low frequency impedance measurements are resistivity measurements as a function of frequency (depth). Unlike thermoelectric power, low frequency impedance measurements push current (eddy currents) within the specimen. 

Quinolizidine alkaloid analysis also utilizes the X-ray method, which is based on the absorption of X-rays, diffraction of X-rays, wavelength, and radiant power measurements of X-rays. When an atom is excited by the removal of an electron from an inner shell, it usually returns to its normal state by transferring an electron from some outer shell to the inner with the consequent emission of energy as an X-ray. The X-ray method is applied to quinolizidine alkaloids which have a crystalline form. In this sense it is the same as the RTG methods, which can be applied only to crystalline materials. X-rays can be absorbed by material and this gives rise to X-ray absorption spectra . The spectrum provides material for the identification of compounds.
