When you finish you will be able to
Explain why a service connection is chosen by power and the meter counts energy.
What you learn
- Calculate the energy and the power of an appliance with their units (W, kWh, J) and say which one answers “how much in total” and which “how much at once”.
- Calculate the current of a single-phase or three-phase load from its power, its voltage and its power factor.
- Read a demand curve: energy as an area, maximum power and load factor.
- Apply rule 5.3 of Chile's RIC N°01 and the table in its annex 1.3 to check a single-phase service connection point by point.
- Explain in one minute, with numbers, why a service connection is chosen by power and the meter counts energy.
Who it is for
Young people aged 16 to 24 who study or plan to study electrical engineering. It builds on engineering fundamentals (circuits) and on choosing and studying a specialization. Node stage: competent, that of the newly graduated engineer.
