How to Evaluate Clearing Angle?

Clearing Angle evaluator uses Clearing Angle = (pi*Frequency*Input Power)/(2*Constant of Inertia)*(Clearing Time)^2+Initial Power Angle to evaluate the Clearing Angle, Clearing Angle is defined as the angle through which the rotor angle swings after a fault is cleared and before the system settles into a new stable state. Clearing Angle is denoted by δc symbol.

How to evaluate Clearing Angle using this online evaluator? To use this online evaluator for Clearing Angle, enter Frequency (f), Input Power (Pi), Constant of Inertia (H), Clearing Time (tc) & Initial Power Angle o) and hit the calculate button.

FAQs on Clearing Angle

What is the formula to find Clearing Angle?
The formula of Clearing Angle is expressed as Clearing Angle = (pi*Frequency*Input Power)/(2*Constant of Inertia)*(Clearing Time)^2+Initial Power Angle. Here is an example- 61.93019 = (pi*56*200)/(2*39)*(0.37)^2+0.1745329251994.
How to calculate Clearing Angle?
With Frequency (f), Input Power (Pi), Constant of Inertia (H), Clearing Time (tc) & Initial Power Angle o) we can find Clearing Angle using the formula - Clearing Angle = (pi*Frequency*Input Power)/(2*Constant of Inertia)*(Clearing Time)^2+Initial Power Angle. This formula also uses Archimedes' constant .
Can the Clearing Angle be negative?
No, the Clearing Angle, measured in Angle cannot be negative.
Which unit is used to measure Clearing Angle?
Clearing Angle is usually measured using the Radian[rad] for Angle. Degree[rad], Minute[rad], Second[rad] are the few other units in which Clearing Angle can be measured.
