Electrical Degrees to Meter Converter

Convert electrical degrees (a fraction of a circle) to meters (linear distance) based on a reference distance (e.g., radius).

Input Parameters

This is typically the radius of the circle or the reference distance.

Enter the angle in degrees (e.g., 30 for 30°).

Calculation Results

Calculation Formula

Distance (m) = Reference Distance (m) × (Degrees / 360°) × 2π

Where:
- Reference Distance: The radius or reference length in meters
- Degrees: The angle in electrical degrees
- π: Approximately 3.14159

How to Use the Calculator

  1. Enter the Reference Distance in meters. This is typically the radius of a circle or the distance from the center to the circumference.
  2. Enter the Electrical Degrees you want to convert. For example, if you want to find the distance corresponding to 30° on a circle with a radius of 100 meters, enter 30.
  3. Click the Calculate button to get the linear distance in meters.
  4. The result will be displayed in the Linear Distance field.
  5. Click Reset to clear all fields and start over.

Working Principle

This calculator converts electrical degrees (which represent a fraction of a circle) to linear distance. The formula used is:

Distance = Reference Distance × (Degrees / 360°) × 2π

For example, if you have a circle with a radius of 100 meters and want to find the distance along the circumference corresponding to 90 electrical degrees:

  • Reference Distance = 100 meters
  • Degrees = 90
  • Distance = 100 × (90 / 360) × 2 × π ≈ 157.08 meters

Applications

This calculator is useful in various fields including:

  • Electrical engineering for calculating arc lengths
  • Surveying and mapping
  • Navigation systems
  • Robotics and automation
