Symbol

Description

Used to measure or scope the Active Power (in W), the Reactive Power (in VAR), the Apparent Power (in VA), and the Power Factor.

P = \frac{1}{T} \int_t^{t+T} v(t) \cdot i(t) \cdot dt
Q = v_1 \cdot i_1 \cdot \sin(\phi)
S = v_{rms} \cdot i_{rms}
PF = \frac{P}{S}

where x_{rms} is the RMS of x and x_1 is the fundamental of x
