This thesis was written in 1991 in partial fulfillment of the requirements for a Master of Science degree in Electrical Engineering at Wilkes University, Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, United States. The measurement method discussed can be used to determine if the distortion is from the source, or caused by the load.AbstractA method is described for measuring real power in instances where voltage and current waveforms are not pure sinusoids. The measurement system utilizes dig...
