Calculate Impedance, Power Factor & Type Of Power In RLC Circuit

Good Evening
No suprises to what im looking to investigate today.
I have a initial circuit which contains a AC supply, Resistor and Inductor only, I must calculate the impedance, supply current, power factor & angle, and type of power that is consumed in the circuit.
I must then create a modified circuit in which i must improve the power factor to 0.95 and specify the value of capacitance required!
I must then calculate the impedance, supply current, power factor & angle and the type of power consumed in the circuit.
I have never really used multisim before, just want to make sure my calculations are correct as the values I have been given to work with are producing tedious amounts of impedance. My XL=24kOhm
I have tried to use the impedometer but not quiet sure how to wire it correctly. Same goes for the watt meter not sure how to wire the terminals for V and I.
Appreciate any help and advice I have provided some images of my initial circuit I have not specified the value of C as im not sure what it must be to give me a PF of 0.95.
Regards
Ps pardon the amatuer mistake forgot to add a ground (fool)

Hi Hass,
Here is an article on Calculating the Impedance in Multisim.
http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/9F8D30235DE3EC0186257592006B23A2
Similarly, you can add Expression to Calculate the Power Factor or other circuit parameters.
Hope this helps!

Calculate the power of 2

calculate this value's X to the power of 2
For example,
if value X=4 the answer would be 2^4 =16
float X = 4
float Y = (2^X)
how do you define the power of 2 in objective c?

Like in C, which does not have an exponentiation operator.
You either need to use multiple multiplications or the pow() function. In your case:
pow(2,4)
I don't know if Objective-C or Apple has defined any other functions for this (like a math library).
(You will need math.h for this to work.)

Multisim-How to calculate impedance of OP Amp

Hi All,
How can I calculate equivalent input impedance Zeq (in nF) of following circuit using multiSim. R1=1.7K ohm R2=44.5K ohm C=1nF.
Attachments:
Q1.jpg ‏37 KB

Configure the source circuit at the input port where you want to determine Zeq such that you can measure or calculate both the votlage and the current. Since your input impedance is complex you need to measure both amplitude and phase. Ohm's Law is your friend.

[11g] most efficient way to calculate size of xmltype type column

I need to check the current size of some xmltype column in a BIU trigger.
I don't think it's good to use
length(:new.xml_data.GetStringVal());
or
dbms_lob.GetLength(:new.xml_data.GetClobVal());
What's the most efficient way to get the storage size?
I don't need the string serialized size.
It could also be the internal storage size (incl. administration data overhead).
- thanks!
regards,
Frank

> May I ask for what reason you need to know it?
I need to handle very large XML document output, which currently hits the internal xmltype limitation of 4GByte, when aggregating XML document fragments for this.

I don't use dedicated storage clause.
But i am hitting the problem already for aggregation into some xmltype variable in PL/SQL
- BEFORE writing back to a result table.
Can i avoid such problems, when writing to a table DIRECTLY w/o intermediate xmltype PL/SQL variable
- depending on the storage clause?
The reason why asking how to get the size of some xmltype (in table column and/or in PL/SQL variable) is, that i am thinking of a threshold detection.
In case threshold is reached: outsource XML fragment so far to some separate CLOB storage, and insert a smaller meta-information reference representing that in the output document.
Finally leave up to the client system to use <xs:include> (or alike) to construct the complete document.

Power factor simulation and measurement

I need to simulate in LabView 7.1 an application that simulates an AC waveform (voltage and current) like if I take them directly from a facility and with this info calculate the Power Factor, Reactive, Active and Apparent power. all this for a single and three phase system.
I have little experience on Labview and all help will be appreciate it.
Thanks

There is an example program online that might help you out with single-phase AC circuits:

How to calculate power in specific frequency band

Hi Everyone. I have been trolling on here for months but this is my first post so I hope I am putting this in the correct place.
What I am trying to do is simple in theory but I have tried over and over and am having no luck in getting this to work. I wish to calculate the power in specific frequency bands for heart rate variability analysis.
Referring to the article "Using LabVIEW for Heart Rate Variability Analysis" http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/epd/p/id/5832 I am aware of the steps I need to follow.
I have plotted the RR intervals and resampled these with cubic spline interpolation to give a nice time dependent series. I then wire this to a PSD VI and this is where I am out of my depth.
I know from the above article that I am looking for power in these frequency bands
VLF
ms2
Power from 0–0.04 Hz.
LF
ms2
Power from 0.04–0.15 Hz.
HF
ms2
Power from 0.15–0.4 Hz.
The NI Biomedical Startup kit can do these, however I am unable to look into the source code as I do not have some required plugins in my installation. I have LabVIEW 8.6 full development system.
As this is not my area there is a steep learning curve and I have read many forum posts and pages but am still unsure of what I need to do here.
It is my understanding that the frequency resolution is simply the sample rate/number of samples. So if I require a resolution of 0.01Hz then theoretically 100Hz sample rate and 10,000samples would give me this.Furthermore I gather that the size of the output array from the PSD VI is equal to the # of data points (This i have just noticed from trial and error so I may be wrong).
Therefore if I am using the above values then is it correct that PSD would return an array and all I need to do is simply sum the contents of those array elements to get the power?
For example if frequency resolution is 0.01 , then to get power from 0-0.04Hz I must simply add the first 4 elements in the PSD output array?
I have made a test VI to show what I am talking about and attached it to this post.
Some feedback on the required approach would be a lifesaver here. I have purchased a couple of books and read through pages of forum posts but am still having trouble with this.
Many thanks!

Sorry about that, I didn't realize you wanted to run the code too The VI was doing a bunch of other stuff so I have tried to clean that out and just leave the relevant bit. As mentioned above, the case block executes when a peak is detected in the data and appends this value to an array.
I am using the technique of resampling the data because this is what was mentioned in this http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/epd/p/id/5832 and also in another reference that I have been following titled "Heart Rate Variability Standards of Measurement, Physiological Interpretation, and Clinical Use" http://circ.ahajournals.org/cgi/content/full/93/5/1043 which states
"The spectrum of the HRV signal is generally calculated eitherfrom the RR interval tachogram (RR durations versus number ofprogressive beats; see Fig 5a,b) or by interpolating the DES,thus obtaining a continuous signal as a function of time, orby calculating the spectrum of the counts–unitary pulsesas a function of time corresponding to each recognized QRS complex.35Such a choice may have implications on the morphology, themeasurement units of the spectra, and the measurement of therelevant spectral parameters. To standardize the methods used,the use of RR interval tachogram with the parametric method,or the use of the regularly sampled interpolation of DES withthe nonparametric method may be suggested; nevertheless, regularlysampled interpolation of DES is also suitable for parametricmethods. The sampling frequency of interpolation of DES mustbe sufficiently high that the Nyquist frequency of the spectrumis not within the frequency range of interest."

Calculate Power supplies

Wasn't sure where to post this. Quite a few posts in the forums on what is the correct power supply for a given system. I went to Antec's website and found that they have a VERY useful tool to calculate your power supply requirements. This is a great tool and very good for those who do not know how to calculate amps, watts, voltage and the like. Go to their website and on the main page under "support" you will find "psu calculator". Hope this helps!

Well it's quite simple, buy a powermeter and measure the needs.
My system here needs about 160W idle and at full load about 245W.
As I like to play safe, I do this: 245 / 12 = ~20A multiply by 1.5 and I need about 30A @ 12V for the system I have.
Why only take 12V, well most stuff is powered by 12V.
Why multiply by 1.5? Well in summertime a system gets hotter, if it's 35C in your room, your PSU can deliver less power, so you need a large overhead.
50% extra above needs should be more then enough.
But if you want to use your PSU for future use as well, you better take 40A (in my example) @ 12V so the PSU will last a long time.
Mine is about 4 years old! And still doing it's job, even with SLI and 2 CPU's.
Don't be worried about powerconsumption, a 40A @ 12V PSU will probably take less power to feed your system then a 20A @ 12V PSU (again in my sample), as the 40A PSU has a better transformation-quotient, so it looses less energy to produce the same.

Calculate SNR from Power spectrum (Urgent)

Hi. I have used simple blocks like PSK modulator,white noise,phase noise,tone interference, up and down converter and demodulator in a chain to simulate a noisy channel and also perform modulation in LabVIEW. I would like to know is it possible to calculate SNR from the power spectrum live for this channel? Is there any function avaiable in Modulation toolkit to calculate SNR from Power spectrum?
Thanks
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hello en99,
The Spectral Measurements Toolkit provides VIs to calculate the 'Power in Band'. By taking the ration of this VI and the apparent noise level, I believe you should be able to calculate the SNR.
The screenshot shows where this VI can be found:

USB 6008_Lab View Power Monitor

Hi,
I'm doing a project on Power Monitoring Unit. Here I measure the line voltage and current and display it in the computer using the NI USB 6008 unit.
So I'm giving two signals corresponds to the line voltage and current. Then use Lab View to calculate the power and power factor.
I bought the USB 6008 unit and finding it difficult connect this hard ware to the Lab View software. I need to use the Lab view, not signal express.
If you guys can give me a solution for this, it's greatly appreciated,
Cheers,
Milinda

Hi,
There is another problem that came to me when calculating the Power Factor.
NI USB 6008 measures voltage inputs only.
So, when I calculate the power, I have to measure Voltage and the line current.
For the Voltage input signal, I can use a small transformer to step down the Voltage to an acceptable range with the DAQ. (230 V to 6V)
For the Current input signal, 1) I can use a shunt resistor and measure the voltage difference across it and input it to the DAQ
or 2) I can use the small Current Transformer and a burden resistor get a voltage difference across the burden
Resistor and input it to the DAQ.
If i measure the power of a resistive load, Voltage and Current signal will overlap and gives no difference.
If i measure the power of an inductive or capacitive load, there is a lag or lead between Voltage and Current signal.
My question is, when it's an inductive load, which current input method will display the difference between voltage and current signal?
Note: Power Factor - Angle difference between Voltage and current signal.
Cheers,
Milinda

Power Consumption of Power Injector

Hi,
Hope you can assist me. My customer requested me to calculate the power consumption required for the installation of one unit of AP 1510 using the following power injector, part no: Power Injector (AIR-PWRINJ1500). He would like to know the cost required so that the building management can include the necessary cost of the implementation of the device.
From my initial research, I notice the following input power requirement
Power Injector
Input: 100-240V ~ 1.5A (300Watt)
Output: 48V ~ 1.2A (58Watt)
Power consumption: 240*1.5 = 360 W = 0.36KW
Assuming cost per unit is 0.39 cent
Amount required per hour = 0.36*0.39 = 0.14 cent
Amount required per day = 0.14*24 = 3.36 dollar
Is my calculation correct?
Thanks.

Is using Math.pow faster than multiplying myself?

Hi all,
Is it faster to use Math.pow to calculate a power than to, say, multiply it myself in a loop? How about if I'm just doing a square -- is it faster to use Math.pow(x,2) than x * x?
I noticed that the pow method in StrictMath has the keyword "native." Does this mean it's being done by the operating system? Does it mean it's being done directly in the hardware?
Thanks!
Tim

TimQuinn wrote:
This is in an inner-loop deep in a simulation, so I'd like it to be as fast as possible. From the above, I'm gathering that I should keep using pow for my ^8 calculation, but substitute a simple multiplication for my ^2 calculation.Not necessarily. Remember that N^8 = ((N^2)^2)^2. The Math.pow algorithm will very likely use this optimization, but you can too.
Related question: does it make any difference at all in these kinds of operations if I use floats or doubles? In terms of speed, I mean, not precision.Actual answer to all of your questions: try all of the possibilities in your simulation and see what actually happens.

Power spectrum using yule walker method

i am currently working on an algorithm and i need to add a power spectrum using yule walker method or modified covariance method or any other power spectrum estimation method except music and fft (periodogram) that i already did. can anybody help me?or does anybody have any other vi that calculates the power spectrum?

Hi hampis,
I posed a similar response on the yule walker forum.
If you're running LabVIEW 8.0 or 8.2 you can use the MathScript node to execute the aryule() function, which uses the Yule-Walker method to estimate autoregressive (AR) model parameters.
Here is more information on this command:

Graph power over time

Hi,
I am new to Signal Express. I am using it with the USB-6289 to measure system power on my DUT. I have a target sense resistor on the board that I have sense lines connected to and thse lines are connected to analog 1 and analog 2 on the 6289. The goal is to measure the voltage drop across the resistor and use it to calculate the power and graph it in real time with Signal Express.
I created a task for voltages ai0 and ai1 for the voltage drop across the resistor.
Tried to run the project but I am not seeing any kind of output on the screen.
I verified the 6289 is being detected and calibrated with NIMAX. Also created a task with NIMAX. However, I am not sure how to specify power over time. How do I specify power over time in Signal Express if I have sense lines connected to a resistor on a board?
Thanks, Joe

Hi Joe,
Are you able to run and see the voltage in MAX when you create the task? How do you have your voltage input set up in SignalExpress?
Here is a link that might be helpful for setting and collecting data in SignalExpress: http://www.ni.com/white-paper/5903/en/
As far as calculating the power over time, you can create a customer scale. Here is: http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/31A3EF18B6141E2C862579DE0077ABA7
