Abstract
Existing definitions for power terms in alternating current systems wo rk well for single-phase and three-phase systems where both voltages a nd currents are sinusoidal with respect to time. This paper clarifies and proposes definitions for power terms that are practical and effect ive when voltage and/or currents are distorted and/or unbalanced If al so suggests definitions for measurable values that may be used to indi cate the level of distortion and unbalance.
