Cycle per second Cycle per second The cycle per second was a once-common English name for the unit of frequency now known as the hertz (Hz). The plural form was typically used, often written cycles per second, cycles/second, c.p.s., c/s, ~, or, ambiguously, just cycles. The term comes from the fact that sound waves have a frequency measurable in their number of oscillations, or "cycles", per second. With the organization of the International System of Units in 1960, the cycle per second was officially replaced by the hertz, or reciprocal second, "s" or "1/s". Symbolically, "cycle per second" units are "cycle/second", while hertz
Per-unit system use the nominal voltage 138 kV as the base voltage formula_23. We then have: If, for example, the actual voltage at one of the buses is measured to be 136 kV, we have: The following tabulation of per-unit system formulas is adapted from Beeman's "Industrial Power Systems Handbook". It can be shown that voltages, currents, and impedances in a per-unit system will have the same values whether they are referred to primary or secondary of a transformer. For instance, for voltage, we can prove that the per unit voltages of two sides of the transformer, side 1 and side 2,
