I do not follow how the set point can be the operating temperature. How is this inputting to the comparator? Are you proposing some external heat source which remains constant at that temperature? For a loop to function it must have a reference that does not change with the controlled

The measurement task has been made unnecessarily difficult by specifying 3-phase input to the control box. Normal single-phase input would suffice here, given the power levels. They redesigned the control box between the December and March tests, changing the output from 3-phase to

I will give it my best shot. Consider a diode in series with a resistor, and connected to an AC outlet. For the first half of the cycle the diode conducts, and a positive current flows. For the second half, the diode does not conduct and NO NEGATIVE CURRENT FLOWS, even though a negative

Duncan, I hate to keep repeating myself that the power can be measured by analyzing the AC components only. When will you guys show why this is not true? I suggest that you start with the simple system you proposed of a diode in series with a resistor driven by an AC wall socket. Explain

OK, you are mistaken with this analysis. The input power is determined by the AC 50/60 hertz fundamental and the fundamental component of the current flowing from the wall socket. The DC just comes along for the ride since it is converted from some of the input AC power. And yes, you can

Ekstrom's critique made me think about the output side more. I've been making a mistake about emissivity. P = s*e*T^4 (s=Boltzmann's constant, e = emissivity, T=temp in deg K). At a measured temperature, if the actual emissivity is lower than the value used to calculate output power, then the

That is a good try. I agree with all that you say except for one key item. 1). No negative current flows due to the diode. 2). The instantaneous power being delivered to the resistor is I^2*R as you suggest. 3). The DC rated clamp on meter should measure the total RMS current provided it can

Eric, the isolation capacitor does not serve a purpose in this discussion. It would ensure that no DC gets through. You assumption that no DC power exceeds the input power measured at the mains should be accurate. It would be very difficult to keep excess DC flowing at a higher level for
