Specific Consumption Formula Elements

Variables
Specific Consumption
Specific Consumption is defined as the ratio of electric power input to its average candle power.
Symbol: S.C.
Measurement: NAUnit: Unitless
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Input Power
Input power refers to the amount of electrical power consumed by a device or system. It represents the energy input required to operate the equipment and is typically measured in watts or kilowatts.
Symbol: Pin
Measurement: PowerUnit: W
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Candle Power
Candle power is an older term used to describe the intensity of light emitted by a source, but it has largely been superseded by the SI unit candela for modern illumination measurements.
Symbol: CP
Measurement: Luminous IntensityUnit: cd
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
