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 this, the base currents I and I are related in the opposite way that V and V are related, in that formula_31 The reason for this relation is for power conservation S = S The full load copper loss of a transformer in per-unit form is equal to the per-unit value of its resistance: formula_32 formula_33 Therefore, it may be more useful to express the resistance in per-unit form as it also represents the full-load copper loss. As stated above, there are two degrees of freedom within the per unit system that allow the engineer to specify any per unit
