Reactive Power
Reactive power is derived from the apparent and real powers.
Q
Power Factor
True power factor is the ratio of real to apparent power.
Total Harmonic Distortion (THD)
The THD for an input is derived from the RMS and vector magnitude (V)
This is the IEEE form of THD. In DSA32, the calculation of THD can be selected from
either the IEEE or ANSI standard. Refer to the DSA help file for a complete explanation of
the differences.
