Form 1. 3. - Electrotechnics :

NOTE :

As in the previous forms, the units used in the calculations are borrowed from the system S.I. ... The formulas contained in this reminder concern electrotechnics and capacitors.


HAUT DE PAGE FORMULA 99 - Calculation of the electrical power of a device connected to the sector knowing the operating time, the corresponding number of revolutions of the disk visible to the meter and the number of revolutions per kilowatt-hour indicated for each type of meter.

Calculate the electrical power of a device connected to the mains

Enunciated : The electric power, expressed in watts, is obtained by multiplying the number of revolutions of the rotating disk by 3 600 000 (Figure 1) and dividing the product obtained by the number of revolutions per kilowatt-hour (2 160 revolutions / kW.h in the case of the counter of Figure 1) and the operating time expressed in seconds.

P = (3 600 000 x n) / (N x t)

P = electric power in W (watt)

n = number of revolutions of the meter disk

N = number of revolutions per kilowatt-hour (revolutions / kW.h) of the meter

t = time in seconds set by the disk to complete 'n' laps

Lecture_du_compteur_electrique

Example :

Data : n = 18 turns (counted when the device whose power is to be determined is connected to the mains) ; N = 2 160 / kW.h (indicated on the meter dial of Figure 1) ; t = 30 s (time taken to complete 18 laps, measured with a stopwatch).

Electrical power of the device :

P = (3 600 000 x 18) / (2 160 x 30) = 64 800 000 / 64 800 = 1 000 W

OBSERVATION :

To determine the number of revolutions (n) accomplished by the rotating disk of the counter, we count how many times, during the time considered, the small red or black line (Figure 1) passes in front of the small window through which we see this disk

On the meters, the number of "turns per kilowatt-hour" is almost always replaced by the equivalent indication "turn per kilowatt-hour" or by the symbol turns / kW.h.

HAUT DE PAGE FORMULA 100 - Calculation of the cost of the electrical energy consumed by a device knowing the quantity of energy consumed and the unit price, expressed in francs per kilowatt-hour.

C = pW

C = cost of electric energy in F (franc) "but now it is in euro" !

p = unit price of electric energy in F / kW.h (franc per kilowatt hour)

W = electrical energy in kW.h (kilowatt hour)

  • Example :

Data :  p = 0,40 F kW.h  ;  W = 97,8 kW.h (see the indications shown in Figure 1).

Cost :  C = 0,40 x 97,8 = 39,12 F

 

HAUT DE PAGE FORMULA 101 -  Calculation of the cost per hour of the energy consumed by an electrical apparatus knowing the power of the apparatus and the unit price of the energy.

Calculate the cost per hour of the energy consumed by an electrical appliance

Enunciated : The cost per hour, expressed in francs, of the energy consumed by an electrical appliance is obtained by dividing by 1 000 the product between the power, expressed in watts, and the unit price, expressed in francs per kilowatt -hour.

C / h = P p / 1 000

C / h = cost per hour in F (franc)

P = electric power in W (watt)

p = unit price of electric energy in F / kW.h (franc per kilowatt hour)

  • Example :

Data :  P = 100 W (power of a small lamp)  ;  p = 0,40 F / kW.h

Cost per hour :  C / h = (100 x 0,40) / 1 000 = 0,04 F or 4 cents

Electrical capacity : C = 0,00002 / 10 = 0,000002 = 2 x 10-6 F

OBSERVATION :

Since the calculated electrical capacitance is relatively small, the result can be expressed in microfarads (µF), 1 µF = 10-6 F.

Where  C = 2 µF

C = Q / V

C = capacity of the capacitor in F (farad)

Q = quantity of electricity in C (coulomb)

V = potential difference in V (volt)

This formula is similar to Formula 102 and the quantities contained therein are expressed in the same units of measurement ; this is why the calculation methods are identical in both cases.

  • Example :

Data : Q = 0,000008 C  ;  V = 200 V

Capacitor capacity : C = 0,000008 / 200 = 4 x 10-8 F

OBSERVATION :

In general, the capacities of the capacitors are very small compared to the unit of measurement, which is farad, and for this reason, Farad submultiples are commonly used, the microfarad (µF ; 1 µF = 10-6 F), see the nanofarad (nF ; 1 nF = 10-9 F) and the picofarad (pF  ; 1 pF = 10-12). By expressing the result of the preceding example, using the various sub-multiples of the farad, we obtain :

C = 4 x 10-8 F = 0,04 µF = 40 nF = 40 000 pF

HAUT DE PAGE FORMULA 104 - Calculation of the quantity of electricity present on one or the other reinforcement of a capacitor, knowing the potential difference between the armatures and the capacity of the capacitor.

Calculate the potential difference between the plates of a capacitor

V = Q / C

V = potential difference in V (volt)

Q = quantity of electricity in C (coulomb)

C = capacity in F (farad)

(This formula is from Formula 103).

  • Exemple :

Data : Q = 0,0006 C  ;  C = 5 µF = 5 x 10-6 F (for the equivalence between the microfarad and the Farad measurement unit, see the observation following the Formula 103).

Potential difference existing between the capacitor plates :

V = 0,0006 / (5 x 10-6) = 120 V

e = absolute dielectric constant of a material in pF / m (picofarad per meter).

eo = absolute dielectric constant of the vacuum (8.86 pF / m (picofarad per meter).

er = relative dielectric constant of the material (see Table VI, Figure 2).

  • Example :

Data : eo = 8,86 pF / m  ;  er = 5 (dielectric constant relative to the bakelized cardboard, see table VI, Figure 2).

Absolute dielectric constant of the bakelized cardboard :

e = 8,86 x 5 = 44,3 pF / m

Constante_dielectrique_relative

OBSERVATION :

Sometimes, in physics books and technical manuals, this same absolute dielectric constant is expressed in farad per meter (F / m). Farad per meter is the unit of measurement adopted in the international system, picofarad per centimeter and picofarad per meter are submultiples of the same unit :

1 pF / cm = 10-10 F / m ; 1 F / m = 1010 pF / cm

1 pF / m = 10-12 F / m ; 1 F / m = 1012 pF / m

1 pF / cm = 100 pF / m ; 1 pF / m = 0,01 pF / cm

In Table VI, Figure 2, the dielectric constants relating to the vacuum, or dry air, of some insulating materials which may be of interest to the electronics engineer are indicated.

(Value shown in Table VI, Figure 2).

b)  Data : C1 = 50 nF (nanofarad) ; C2 = 30 nF ; C3 = 15 nF ; C4 = 60 nF ; Cn = 5 nF.

     Total capacity : Ct = 50 + 30 + 15 + 60 + 5 = 160 nF

c)  Data : C1 = 2 µF (microfarad) ; C2 = 5 µF ; C3 = 5 µF

Enunciated : The equivalent capacity of several capacitors connected in series, is obtained by executing the computations in three stages : one calculates first the inverse of the capacity of each capacitor, which amounts to dividing the number 1 by the value of the capacity. Then we add the values of the inverses. Finally, we calculate the equivalent capacity by dividing the number 1 by the sum of the inverses.

OBSERVATION :

If one must calculate the equivalent capacitance of two capacitors connected in series, one can use the Formula 123, but it is simpler to resort to The Formula 121 ; In addition, in the case where the capacitances of the capacitors connected in series are equal, then the formula 120 can be used.
