Apparent Energy definition

Apparent Energy means a measure of electricity, being the time integral of the product of voltage and the electric current flow across a metering point expressed in Volt Amp hours (VAh) or multiples thereof.
Apparent Energy means the integral of the apparent power with respect to time. It is measured in Volt Ampere hour and standard multiple thereof, which is:
Apparent Energy means the integral with respect to time of the Apparent Power.

Examples of Apparent Energy in a sentence

  • This Code only applies to "whole current" and transformer operated Metering Equipment for Import Active Energy measured in kWh. No provision is made for the measurement of Reactive Energy or Apparent Energy or any Maximum Demand.

  • Apparent Energy means the integral with respect to time of the Apparent Power.

  • Demand Period means the period over which Active Energy, Reactive Energy or Apparent Energy are integrated to produce Demand Values.


More Definitions of Apparent Energy

Apparent Energy means the simple product of voltage and current in an alternating current (AC) system, without regard for the presence of reactive energy due to the phase differences between voltage and current at any given time. Apparent energy = Active energy + Reactive energy.
