Absorbed Power

Absorbed Power has a unit value of kW.

Other unit options such as hp can be added to the project via the grid configuration facility in the Configuration module.

Absorbed Power is calculated if the Loading Factor is set.

The equation is:

Absorbed Power = (Nameplate Power * Loading Factor)

Absorbed Efficiency

Absorbed Efficiency has a unit value of Ratio.

Absorbed Power Factor

Absorbed Power Factor has a unit value between 0 and 1.

Absorbed Power Factor Unit

Absorbed Power Factor Unit can have values of LEAD and LAG.

• When value is set as LAG then Absorbed Reactive Power is positive.

• When value is set as LEAD then Absorbed Reactive Power is negative.

• If Absorbed Power Factor =1 then Absorbed Power Factor Unit will be set to null.

Absorbed Electrical Power

Absorbed Electrical Power has a unit value of Power kW.

It is calculated using this equation:

Absorbed Electrical Power = Absorbed Power / Absorbed Efficiency

Absorbed Reactive Power

Absorbed Reactive Power has a unit value of Reactive Power kVAr.

It is calculated using this equation:

Absorbed Reactive Power = Absorbed Electrical Power * √ ( (1- Absorbed Power Factor2) / Absorbed Power Factor2)

Note:
Positive Absorbed Reactive Power values are defined as LAG.
Negative Absorbed Reactive Power values are defined as LEAD.

Absorbed Power Factor Correction

Absorbed Power Factor Correction has a unit value of Reactive Power kVAr.

It is always negative i.e. LEAD.

With correction, the loads Absorbed Reactive Power is calculated as:

Total Absorbed Reactive Power = Absorbed Reactive Power - Absorbed Power Factor Correction

Absorbed Apparent Power

Absorbed Apparent Power has a unit value of Power kVA. Project can add unit option via grid configuration in Configuration module.

It is calculated using this equation:

Absorbed Apparent Power = √ (Absorbed Electrical Power2 + Total Absorbed Reactive Power2)

Absorbed Corrected Power Factor

The Absorbed Corrected Power Factor has a unit value of Ratio. The Absorbed Corrected Power Factor is calculated using this equation:

Absorbed Corrected Power Factor = Absorbed Electrical Power / Absorbed Apparent Power

Absorbed Corrected Power Factor Unit

Absorbed Corrected Power Factor Unit can have values of LEAD and LAG.

• When value is set as LAG then Total Absorbed Reactive Power is positive.

• When value is set as LEAD then Total Absorbed Reactive Power is negative.

• If Nameplate Power Factor =1 then Total Absorbed Reactive Power will be set to null.

Absorbed Full Load Current

Absorbed Full Load Current has a unit value of Current A.

The Absorbed Full Load Current calculations below depend on the number of phases and therefore on the voltage type.

The equation for voltage is:

Line Voltage = Phase Voltage * √3

The equation for a single phase load i.e. Voltage Type = S, is:

Absorbed Full Load Current = (Absorbed Apparent Power * 1000) / Voltage (Phase voltage)

The equation for a 2 phase load i.e. Voltage Type = L, is:

Absorbed Full Load Current = (Absorbed Apparent Power * 1000) / Voltage (Line voltage)

The equation for a 3 phase load i.e. Voltage Type = TN, T, is:

Absorbed Full Load Current = (Absorbed Apparent Power * 1000) / (Voltage (Line voltage) * √3)

DC Calculations

DC calculations use the same equations as above except Nameplate Power Factor = 0. This means Nameplate Power Factor Unit is null.

Calculations are as follows:

Absorbed Electrical Power = (Absorbed Power / Absorbed Efficiency)

Absorbed Reactive Power = 0

Absorbed Power Factor Correction = 0

Absorbed Apparent Power = Absorbed Electrical Power

Absorbed Full Load Current = (Absorbed Electrical Power * 1000) / Voltage
