Effiency calculation

[dksingh12]

Hallo,

I want to calculate the effiency of Line conditioning unit (like stabilyser). In this case I have to measure the I/P & O/P AC V, AC Current & Power factor. How these parameters can be measure.

Regards

Hi, Singh

You have lots of really inexpensive ( about 20 US$ ) ... Power ( or Energy) meters ( U*I*Pow factor calculating ) on the market : one at the input, one at the output and voilà ...

I got mine from ELV Electronics in Germany.

Worth the sensors + developing time ... no ???

Hi Alain,

Thanks for your suggestion, but my actual problem is " I'm designing a line conditioning unit using SCR contrl, controled by microcontroller, in this unit I want to display, input voltage, output voltage, output current & system efficiency".
