Bridge Rectifier Power Consumption

Hello,
I am having trouble with multisim when it comes to power consumption involving AC power sources and bridge rectifiers. Even with a simple load the power source is supplying kilovolts to the circuit which should not be drawing so much power. Can anyone help me figure out what's going on here. Thanks. Attatched is the circuit in question with nodal some nodal voltages. 

I do not know how you are doing your calculation. This is actually not a trivial excercise for this circuit because the bridge experiences in-rushes of current when it passes current to charge the capacitors. The waveform is far from sinusoidal. You would need to analyze and perform some analsis on waveforms.

  • Sandy bridge bootloader power consumption fix

    Have the power consumption fixes been implemented in newer/current versions of the kernel? Or is still necessary to keep the lines in the grub cfg?

    pcie_aspm=force should no longer be necessary. i915_enable_rc6 etc should be included in 3.4 kernel as far as i know.

  • I915 power consumption issue after switch to systemd?

    After switching to systemd I noticed a massive increase of power consumption on my Thinkpad X220 (i5 Sandy Bridge).
    The strange thing is, that after some reboots it randomly seems to catch the i915 power saving mode and the consumption gets from ~24W to ~7W at idle. But only after several reboots.
    Adding the good old i915.i915_enable_rc6=1 to the boot parameters doesn't make any differences. But looking at the powertop detail outputs it seems to be a i915 issue.
    Using the latest linux kernel from core (3.6.4) and latest intel drivers (2.20.12).

    I started to get suspicious because I have only ever had the issue in my office. Last week, when I encrypted my drive, my machine wrote to disk for more than 14 hours solid. I then did all the set up and all the restoring from backup etc. with no issue whatsoever. Lenovo ran the thing for 48 hours straight with no problem. But once in my office...
    So I asked the local IT people if they could think of anything other than overheating and explained the issue. They took my laptop yesterday , booted it from a hardware testing CD and ran it for a couple of hours sitting on top of a hot computer in the server room which is definitely hot. (It has a whole bunch of computers, I guess.) No issue. They then ran stress tests for a while in the same place. No problem. Highest recorded temp: 65C.
    The head of IT then took my power adapter to a more general IT service to be tested and inspected. They looked at it, they opened the plug to check the fuse, they tested it. No problem. Of course, the guy also explained why he was asking and the other IT person said, "Oh, is that on level 1?" "Yes..." So apparently there was another machine (a Mac), I think, doing just the same thing in an office in my part of the building. Testing showed that the power spikes and when the power spikes, the laptop shut down as a safety measure. Solution: they installed a UPS for that one laptop. They didn't tell anybody else, including the local IT people.
    What the local IT people were going to do was to install equipment to monitor the power in my office and see if anything weird was causing my laptop to react. However, that was when this was an extremely-unlikely-but-we-are-getting-desperate-for-theories scenario. Clearly, that theory no longer seems wildly implausible at all. So the current hypothesis is that it is most likely that my machine is also reacting to the spikes in power by shutting itself off. (I'm not sure why it should have just started doing this but who knows what the state of the electricals is and how that might vary?)
    I have been told that a surge protector will do no good. (They've given me one anyway but apparently it will not deal with spikes in phase 3 power or something - I didn't understand this bit but the head IT person said he didn't understand it either but the electricals IT person showed him with graphs on the whiteboard. So it must be true.)
    The current plan is to try to get the UPS from central IT which was provided for the other laptop since that person's discipline has since moved to another floor of the building so the UPS probably went back to central IT. They are going to ask during a meeting tomorrow about this possibility. Otherwise, they are planning to order a UPS for me on Monday.
    I'm somewhat surprised that the abrupt shutdowns haven't screwed my data. I've lost work but not seen fs corruption. I didn't take my laptop today. I'll need it next week but I do not plan to plug it in in my office until I have a UPS.
    I'm pretty annoyed, to be honest. I've wasted hours on this and got incredibly stressed about it. The IT people have also wasted a (smaller) amount of time. I hoped to have a new draft of an article I'm working on written by the end of reading week but that didn't happen due to all of this. And they *knew*. It would be different if this was an unknown problem just discovered - of course, one could understand that. But there's a known problem which can cause this type of problem and presumably could well damage equipment without these sorts of safety shutdown features and they don't tell anybody.
    And, no, I doubt very much indeed that a damaged personal machine would be considered the institution's liability. (Maybe if it was a student's machine and the student was required to use it or something but even then...)
    I can't believe it does much good to their equipment either.
    The local IT people did know there was an issue with some burnt out devices but that was about eight years ago and only got mentioned as a outside possibility when other diagnostics turned up no result.
    What gets me is that the proposed solution will only solve the issue for me - not for anybody else in my part of the building on level 1.

  • Since I have upgraded from 7.1 then the power consumption increased slightly unbelievable. I have new batteries in my iphone 5 and when I had at ios 7 so was consumption that allows the battery envelope in two days and with ios 7.1 so is it only 12 hours

  • 3000 J converted to NAS, Are there fan control settings/ways to reduce power consumption?

    So I've had this old 3000 J series - (J115 7388) that's been sitting doing nothing for a while, so I decided to convert it into a FreeNAS, I've stripped out the DVD, card readers, anything unneccesary to reduce power usage - on that theme I have a few questions...
    1. Is there a setting in the BIOS to automate the fans as & when needed to make the system quieter & to reduce power consumption - there will be 2x 2tb WD green drives in there with an idle time of 5 mins, atm I'm using one 320GB HDD from an old laptop - the system won't be used 90% of the time & I'd like it to be able to react when needed rather than constantly be on
    the specs http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/detail.page?LegacyDocID=MIGR-67129 say the fan is variable, but I can't see anything obvious in the BIOS, it did take me some time to find the boot order, so maybe I'm overlooking something
    So that's my main question & this is the bonus
    2. I know there's an Nvidia C51G chipset in there somewhere, is it possible to remove this, there's no GUI on the pc anymore, so again, & also anything else like sound, just to make it as efficient as possible & not to have any unessesary components using power
    I have downloaded updated the latest BIOS (circa 2007) onto another pc from http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/downloads/detail.page?DocID=DS001014 - even if it does provide an update to what I already have - I did note 2007 already on the BIOS version, of course I can't run it to try to make a bootable usb as the downloaded exe is for XP
    I'm having a little trouble with the Lenovo site UI, not sure if it's coding - the links to guides/docs/drivers/downloads on http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/guides-and-manuals/default.page?selector=expand just don't seem to be working for me

    Are you sure there are no trojans or viruses on laptop? Also lounch the task manager and check out the service or application with deranged CPU loading while the laptop is in the idle mode. What is the power usage in the idle mode?

  • Powermanager 1.60 has removed the abilty to show the current power consumption in the tray.

    Hi,
    well the topic says it. Powermanager 1.60 has removed the abilty to show the current power consumption in the tray.
    I realy frustrated right now, why the heck did they remove this nice feature?
    And this new energy slider is just trash. If i change back to advanced mode, i cant see my current power consumption. Nor in the main battery tab. The field "Current Power" is just blank. And the option in the tray vanished.
    What the **bleep** are these guys doing. There was a time i fought this powermanger is the best software ibm/lenovo ever produced, but since the change of the ui, and removing important features. Its unbeliveable.
    Especialy if you are on windows xp, this looks like **bleep**, and this "new" gauge desgin, flickers and stops my mouse on hower over the new "Design".

  • Which is better in term of power consumption for L...

    Hello!
    I would like to know in terms of power consumption which connection type should I use on my Lumia 1020. 4G LTE or 3G. I'm not a person who watches movies on his smartphone, and I don't browse the Internet intensively using my smartphone. I use it to take pictures, check my e-mails, access Facebook, Twitter, Instagram  and Flickr.
    Thank you.

  • Cisco 2951 router AC-PoE power consumption, meaning of the mention "Platform Only" in the datasheet.

    Hello,
    I have a question regarding the power consumption of a Cisco 2951 router with an AC-PoE power supply (without PoE boost).
    In fact in the table (n°7) of the Cisco 2900 Series ISR (G2) datasheet, that sum up the power consumption data for Cisco 2900 series routers there is the line : "Maximum Power with PoE Power Supply (Platform Only) (Watts)", and I would like to know what is exactly the meaning about the mention "Platform Only".
    Thank you for your help, best regards,

    Hi @francois.trarieux,
    This is the maximum power that is consumed exclusively by the router from the PoE PS (Power Supply). The power capacity that the PoE PS gives to other PoE devices (IP Phones, Cameras, APs, etc) is specified in the line below "Maximum End-Point PoE Power  Available from PoE Power Supply (Watts)" of the datasheet.
    HTH.

  • 2011 MacBook Pro hard drive power consumption

    Does anyone know the differences in power consumption between the Apple-supplied 750GB 5400rpm HDD, 500GB 7200rpm HDD, and 256GB SSD drives?  I'm currently using a 2011 MacBook Pro with an Apple-supplied 256GB SSD and I'm getting between 5-8 hours of battery life, depending on what I'm doing.  I wish it could get closer to a full 10-hour battery life for longer trips, but I realize there's a price for performance.  What's the best hard drive option to minimize power consumption?  Are there any other tips for increasing battery life?  Does it make a difference if you turn off Bluetooth and WiFi when you know you're not going to be able to use them?  Thank you in advance for your reply.

    Yes, turn Wi-Fi and BT off when not needed. That and your screen are the biggest power consumers. Keep the brightness as low as you can to conserve power.

  • Tecra R840 - Win8 - power consumption in hibernate mode

    Hello,
    i did the offered upgrade to W8, i am very satisfied with the W8 system, but the problem is that the notebook is consuming battery also in the hibernate mode.
    I would understand that the power consumption will be in the sleep mode, but on the hibernate mode?
    I found out that when the computer enters the sleep mode or hibernate mode and i open the lid, the computer automatically starts EVEN if the option to "power up computer when lid open" is unchecked.
    When i select to power off computer - it does not react to open lid, i have to press the power button.
    The problem could be in the windows system, that the OS tolds the computer to wake up when the lid closed.
    The problem is, that the computer starts charging everytime i wake up from hibernation (i had my office 15minutes from home, and it consumes about 1-2% from battery.
    It is quite anoying that my full charge battery capacity is on 83% of original one (i bought my PC in June2012).
    I had Lenovo T60 7yrs ago, and there was an option to start charging the battery only when the battery charge was under 95% and it saves the battery capacity.
    Does anybody have some clue?
    Thank you!

    Fact is that battery capacity will be reduced even if the notebook is completely OFF. Battery capacity will lose few percent of capacity. To reduce this check - http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/FAQ9C015N0001R01.htm
    Useful document for you can be also http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD9401AZ0001R01.htm
    > I had Lenovo T60 7yrs ago, and there was an option to start charging the battery only when the battery charge was under 95% and it saves the battery capacity.
    As far as I know such option is not available on Toshiba notebooks. When connected to AC power supply notebook starts to load battery automatically.
    There is no option to change anything.

  • W520 nvidia quadro power consumption

    Dear community, I have a short question about power consumption. I did a clean install of windows 7 64bit on my W520 with a quadro 2000. Power consumption when idle with max brightness is somewhere at 18 watt, definitely highter than what I had with the Lenovo default installation. Checking Lenovo's energy software indicates that the GPU is running at full speed all the time so I thought this could be a source of additional power consumption. I installed the latest Lenovo graphics driver from the homepage, but I'm not sure if thats enough. Maybe there is a problem with Nvidias Optimus technology or the switchable graphics? I'd be glad about any feedback and, yes, I know that I'm a little bit on my own with a clean install. :-) Thanks, Branagh

    I get these numbers from the basic view. The battery tab does not indicate power consumption when I have the power chord connected. If I'm on battery the wattage numbers match.
    But the result remains the same no matter if I'm on battery or plugged, or what power settings I use (setting the display to max brightness and the machine idling): If I force the laptop to be on the Nvidia graphics, power consumption is at arond 18W, if I allow it to use the intel graphics, it goes up to at least 20W. GPU load in the power manager is always given at 100%.
    GPU-Z gives more adequate numbers I guess. When I force the Nvidia GPU, the load is correctly displayed at 0% when idle and the core clock goes down to 50Mhz. When I use the intel graphics the load remains at 1% and the core/ram clocks remain at 650 / 533 Mhz all the time.

  • Nokia N86 power consumption

    I have a Nokia N86 which is 2 years old.
    I have been experiencing a problem with battery drainage since I bought it. The battery meter suddenly drops from 5 bars to one bar when I browse the net using HSDPA, after about 30mins or so, when the phone is already hot. I sent it into service once, because it happened very randomly and it did not look like a major issue. They said they recalibrated the battery. After a week of somehow uniform battery draining, the battery started going flat suddenly, again, from 5-6 bars to "low battery".
    I went to a service center again to check if it's the battery or the phone. Nokia Energy Profiler says that the current is about 400-500mA when using HSDPA. The engineer at the service center connected a power supply with measurable current consumption, and during the usage of HSDPA, the current was at least 800mA, with almost 1000mA peaks. He said that these current intensities damage the battery in about a month and that he would not recommend changing the battery, but the HSDPA chip. The warranty period expired a month ago.
    I am asking you guys:are these values normal? 800-1000mA during HSDPA usage for a Nokia N86? I need a serious, valid opinion from somebody who really knows mobile hardware. Thank you.

    This has happened to me every now and then. First it seems as if the battery is almost full and then it's suddenly empty even without using the device much.
    Sometimes the device feels warm. In those cases I just reboot it.
    Obvious things to check would be that BlueTooth and WLAN are off if you don't need them.
    Sometimes the switch of the kickstand has activated when I have carelessly thrown the phone on a bed for example. If you have defined it to start an application that could cause some power consumption.
    I haven't tried to measure my power consumption. I guess there are two options:
    - the device actually consumes a lot of power sometimes
    - the battery indicator isn't always up-to-date i.e. it shows several bars when the battery is actually almost empty.
    It's a shame because it's a pretty nice phone and I quite like it. Luckily it's quite a rare problem. 
    (But not that great if the battery dies during a bicycle trip just because I have SportsTracker running.)

  • SONY BM10 Power consumption - working current (for outdoor use)

  • ALC889 power consumption

    Hello,
    i'm running a little media server on clarkdale basis (MSI H55M-ED55, Intel i3-530) with sound chip ALC889.
    Kernel is 2.6.32.9-1-ARCH and architecture is x86 Archlinux.
    The hardware is supported nicely so far however there's one thing i'm not very happy about.
    When playing music the power consumption climbs from 20 Watts (idle) to 28 Watts although the workload of the CPU is only 1%.
    Enabling power_save for the chip alone saves 2 Watts when idling.
    Compared to the consumption of the audio chip in Windows 7 which is 1 W at most the 8 Watts are unusually high for a sound chip. Is that a known issue or do you know if it can be resolved somehow? I've tried kernel 2.6.33 but the high sound consumption remains.
    I assume it's just a kernel driver thing which i can't do anything about but I'd be glad to hear different.

    Step 4. I used the current clamp to measure the current on the remaining power input and it reads 4.9 A.
    When I multiply the current with voltage I get 
    P=4.9*230=1127 W.
    So why does the show power output gives system power used = 2253.72 Watts, which is actually double value of measured 1127 W? What am I missing?
    Thank you in advance for any help on this,

    Where are you located and what AC line voltage are you operating on (208 or 230v)?  I ran into your post and was wondering if you were operating on 208v which is line to line (two hots) and perhaps you are only measuring current on one line, effectively half the power.
