AUTOMATING REACTIVE IMPEDANCE MEASUREMENTS

Abstract:

A system and a method for automatically determining and analyzing electrical responses related to a group of elements. In an embodiment, the method includes one or more computer processors determining a group of elements electrically connected to a power distribution unit that supplies AC power to an AC load of the group of elements. The method further includes determining a resistance corresponding to the group of elements utilizing a solid-state relay. The method further includes dictating a phase angle trigger value to activate a solid-state current-flow control device. The method further includes determining a set of inductive impedance values corresponding to the group of elements utilizing the solid-state current-flow control device to control AC current flow to the group of elements based on the dictated phase angle trigger value. The method further includes generating an analysis of the determined set of inductive impedance values corresponding to the group of elements.
