Name and Description

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

V RMS

 

Volts rms (includes dc component).

 

 

COS P}

 

Cosine of the angle between the voltage and the current

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

at any single frequency.

 

 

V PK

 

Peak Volts (1/2 peak-to-peak value).

 

 

 

 

 

V DC

 

Volts DC.

 

 

 

 

 

V HM

 

Harmonic Volts RMS

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

For a voltage waveform, V HM identifies the total

 

 

 

 

harmonic voltage present.

 

 

VA, KVA

 

(Kilo) Volt Amps

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Apparent power: a value that the Tester calculates by

 

 

 

 

multiplying the rms value for current by the rms value for

 

 

 

 

voltage.

 

 

VAR, KVAR

 

(Kilo) Volt Amps Reactive

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The reactive power component of the fundamental

 

 

 

 

frequency.

 

 

W, KW

 

Active Power

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The average power dissipated (also called real power).
