What is the principle behind measuring power in 3 phase systems using coils?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on understanding current induction in coils placed around energized conductors to measure power in three-phase systems. It emphasizes the application of the Induction Law to explain how coils can serve as measuring elements. The relationship between voltage and current in power measurement is highlighted, affirming that power is calculated as the product of voltage and current (P = V*I). Participants seek resources to deepen their understanding of these principles. Overall, the conversation aims to clarify the role of coils in power measurement within three-phase systems.

Can anyone point me to a good site that explains current induction, specifically when a coil is placed around an energized, current carrying conductor? I would like to understand this principle to understand how power can measured in 3 phase power systems by using coils as a measuring element.

Try this: Induction Law[/url].

Power is then just V*I, like for any other circuit.

I was using the Smith chart to determine the input impedance of a transmission line that has a reflection from the load. One can do this if one knows the characteristic impedance Zo, the degree of mismatch of the load ZL and the length of the transmission line in wavelengths. However, my question is: Consider the input impedance of a wave which appears back at the source after reflection from the load and has traveled for some fraction of a wavelength. The impedance of this wave as it...
