It's hard to stay up to date when you are floating in a sea of technical jargon. However, it's imperative that engineers know the terminology associated with the areas in which they work. And that's ...

The scope of this article is to introduce a method to measure the power factor in a 50 Hz alternating current transient. The circuit shall be a R-L type. By acquiring only the current wave and, ...

Understanding the causes, similarities, and differences between current and voltage distortion will help you pinpoint most power quality problems. When a writer or speaker mentions harmonic distortion ...

Test meters used to just provide the basics: voltage, current, and resistance. Thanks to solid-state circuitry, though, today's instruments are packed with several features the typical electrician may ...

Total harmonic distortion (THD) is the harmonic distortion present in a signal, defined as the ratio of the root-mean square (RMS) amplitude of a set of higher harmonic frequencies to the RMS ...
