TRANSDUCER FOR ACTIVE AND REACTIVE POWER


The transducer converts active or reactive power in an AC system into a load independent DC current or voltage signal which may be used to drive a number of remotely installed instruments.

Depending on the application, versions of this transducer are available for single phase and three phase (3 or 4 wire, balanced or unbalanced loads) measurement.

The multiplication of voltage and current signals may be either by means of analogue multipliers or by TDM methods, depending on the harmonic content of the signals.

MODE OF OPERATION

The voltage and current signals are transformed and multiplied. I transducers incorporating more than one multiplier, the various power signals are summated in (7). The output amplifier (8) provides either a load independent current signal (with maximum burden) or a load independent voltage signal (with minimum burden). The auxiliary voltage is transformed in (4), rectified and smoothed in (5) and is used to power the multiplier(s), summator, output amplifier and to provide offset voltage for live zero versions.

The 90 phase shift circuit (3) is required for single phase reactive power measurement.
