Measurement and Reporting
This process involves measuring, analyzing and reporting various electrical parameters. Here are the key elements of measurement and reporting in an electrical engineering context:
Measurement:
Voltage Measurement:
- High Voltage: In high voltage systems, voltage is measured with voltmeters or oscilloscopes.
- Low Voltage: In domestic and commercial buildings, digital voltmeters or multimeters are used.
Current Measurement:
- High Current: Measured using current transformers (CT). In high current applications, current measuring devices are usually made with this method.
- Low Current: Multimeters or clamp-on ammeters are used.
Resistance Measurement:
- Insulation Resistance: Measured with insulation testers. It is used to evaluate the condition of insulation in electrical installations.
- Resistance Test: Resistance meters measure the resistance of electrical circuits.
Power Measurement:
- Active Power (Watt): Measured with power analyzers or wattmeters.
- Reactive Power (Volt-Amper Reactive, VAR) and Apparent Power (Volt-Ampere, VA): Measured using power analyzers.
Frequency Measurement:
- Frequency: The frequencies of AC signals are measured using frequency meters or oscilloscopes.
Energy Consumption Measurement:
- Energy Meter: It is used to monitor electricity consumption and is usually realized with energy meters.
Harmonic Analysis:
- Harmonics: Harmonic analyzers or power analyzers are used to measure harmonic distortions in the system.


Reporting
Documentation of Measurement Results:
- Detailed reporting and documentation of measurement results shows the performance and condition of electrical systems. These reports are usually stored in databases or provided in printed form.
Performance Reports:
- Reports are prepared to assess the performance of electricity systems. These reports provide information on energy efficiency, power quality and system reliability.
Maintenance and Failure Reports:
- Detailed reporting of maintenance operations and failures is used to determine future maintenance needs.
Safety Reports:
- The results of safety audits of electrical systems are reported. These reports include the necessary measures to ensure the safety of the system.
Compliance Reports:
- Reports are prepared to show whether electrical installations comply with local and international standards. This ensures compliance with regulatory requirements.
Energy Efficiency Reports:
- Energy consumption and efficiency are analyzed and recommendations for improvement are provided. These reports are used to save energy.
Harmonic Analysis Reports:
- Analyzing harmonic distortions in systems and reporting their effects. These reports determine the corrective measures to be taken to improve energy quality.
Installation Control Reports:
- These are reports prepared as a result of regular checks of electrical installations. These reports include the general condition of the installation and possible risks.
Increased Productivity:
Measurement and analysis provide critical information to improve energy efficiency and reduce costs.
Security, Maintenance and Repair
Regular measurement and reporting is carried out to ensure the safe operation of electrical systems.
It is used to monitor system performance, detect potential failures in advance and identify maintenance needs.
Regulation and Compliance
Regular reporting is required to ensure compliance with local and international standards.
