Electric power measuring device.

摘要

An electric power measuring device wherein input analogue signals representative of instantaneous values of current and voltage are applied to a multiplier (23) and the product applied to a converter (35, 37, 41, 43, 45, 47) to provide a pulse output signal having a frequency representative of the product and hence of the level of power consumption. Compensation for offset errors in the multiplier is effected by periodically reversing the polarity of one of the inputs to the multiplier and effecting corresponding reversals at the input to the converter to avoid irregularities in the output pulse rate when the level of power consumed is low.
