【Definition】/【Calculation Formula】

   In a three-phase AC circuit, active power refers to the average value of the integral of the instantaneous power emitted or consumed by the load over one cycle (or the power consumed by the load resistance). It is also known as the average power.

   P=√3UIcosΦ

【Classification】/【Range】/【Standard】

   Active power is the electrical power required to maintain the normal operation of electrical equipment, which is the power that converts electrical energy into other forms of energy (mechanical energy, light energy, thermal energy).

【Product】

   Most of our company's instruments, including the entire MA series, DZS series, and the majority of the MS series, can measure active power.
