Hi guys and girls....
Just wondering if you can help me with some basic maths.
I have programmed a chip for some simple phase control however I need to workout the average power given the firing angle.
searching the internet I found the equation:
average power = Vpk/4*pi*R [pi - angle+1/2*sin(2*angle)]
I HAVE NO IDEA HOW TO TYPE THIS INTO A CALCULATOR!
The angle 1/2 bit does my head in. Can somebody please translate this equation to a simpleton and do it as simple as possible.
cheers..
