Electric energy measured in
Joules
Apparent power
Is the vector sum of true power plus reactive power. Volt x Amp = VA
Electrical resistance
Measure in ohms. R = V/I
Power
Ability of electrical energy to do useful work in the form of heat; making light, making motion
True power
Power available for useful work
Electrical pressure, EMF, measure in
Volts
Eddy currents
Energy lost, caused by allowing an induced current to flow in the core material. Can be eliminated by a laminated core
Hysteresis
Energy lost caused by reversing the magnetic field in the core as magnetizing ac current rises and falls
ELI the ICE man
ELI- volt leads current in an inductor
ICE- current leads voltage in a capacitor
Waveform starting to the right of zero?
Lagging
Power factor
When true power is equal to the apparent power the PF = 1 or 100%
Electrical inductance is measure in
Henrys
Ac voltage opposition by a capacitor is measure in
Capacitive reactance
Short circuit
Zero resistance, maximum current flow, voltage at short is zero
Open circuit
Infinity resistance, zero current, full voltage across open
Good diode
Will register a value of .3 or .7 with leads in one direction and OL with leads opposite
Bad diode
Will register OL in both directions or a value of 0.00 in both directions
Delta Current
I line = I coil x 1.732
Wye current
I line = I coil
AC voltage- Peak Voltage
1.414 x Vrms

V peak to peak
V peak x 2
Single phase Apparent Power
1ph AP
AP = V coil x I coil
