Foot Pound-Force/hour
Foot pound-force per hour (ft*lbf/h) is a unit of power representing the amount of work done in foot-pounds over the period of one hour.
History/Origin
The foot pound-force is an imperial unit of work or energy, and its use in power measurements like ft*lbf/h has been common in engineering fields in the United States. It has been used historically in mechanical and thermodynamic contexts before the adoption of SI units.
Current Use
Today, ft*lbf/h is primarily used in specific engineering applications, such as in the measurement of small power outputs in mechanical systems, though it is largely replaced by SI units like watts in most scientific and international contexts.
Volt Ampere
Volt ampere (V·A) is a unit of apparent power in an electrical circuit, representing the product of voltage and current without considering power factor.
History/Origin
The volt ampere was established as a unit of apparent power with the development of electrical engineering, particularly as a measure in alternating current (AC) systems. It is derived from the SI units volt (V) and ampere (A).
Current Use
Volt ampere is used to quantify apparent power in AC electrical systems, especially in the context of transformers, generators, and power supplies, to assess capacity and performance.
