All electrical systems are susceptible to short circuits and the abnormal current levels they create. These currents can produce considerable thermal and mechanical stresses in electrical distribution ...

The RMS value of a time dependent voltage or current is based on the simple concept of equality of power dissipation; however, its theoretical calculation or instrument implementation may not be easy.

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, ...
