ABSTRACT

The purpose of this final project is design a measurement tool which is

used to measure electric power and power factor at the single phase grid. As a
electric power measurement tool, it can measure the active power (watt), reactive
power (VAR), and true power (VA). And as the power factor measurement tool, it
can measure power factor and determine type of the load with a specified range.
The device have two sensors, there are voltage sensor and current sensor.
Sensors used to measuring the voltage supplied and the current which is flowing
to the load. HD74LS86 and HD74LS74 will applied to measure power factor and
type of the load. After calculation by ATMega32 microcontroller, the result will be
displayed at the 128x64 dots graphic LCD .
The measurement tool has a portable size, so it can be used at any place.
The measuring result will be displayed at one screen. The maximum current
allowed to pass is 5 ARMS. The device also can determine the type of the load by
using the D flip-flop logic gate. The power factor measuring range that can be
reach from 0. 388 (inductive load) until 0.998 (resistive load) with 4.3% of error
calculation.
