Abstract (en)

[origin: GB2285693A] An apparatus for measuring electrical power is described wherein the apparatus is adapted to produce an output signal proportional to the product of a supply voltage and current flowing through a connected load. A first signal proportional to the supply voltage and a second signal proportional to the load current are used to inverse modulate (at 5 and 4 respectively Fig. 1 not shown) the period of two constant frequency carrier signals. Third and fourth signals derived from the modulated signals are transmitted to a microprocessor, for example via electrical isolating devices 7 and 6. Intervals between successive pulses at 10 are digitised by subtracting counts of a cycling counter at successive pulses. The average interval corresponding to zero voltage is subtracted to give an instantaneous voltage value which is multiplied with a similarly derived current value to give instantaneous power consumption. <IMAGE>
