Correctly installing capacitors at the terminals of your motors can lower reactive power requirements and increase system power factor. Induction motors are the primary source of rotary power in the ...

I’m sure many readers would question why anyone would want to perform a relatively expensive insulation power factor test on an inexpensive transformer. Typically, if any testing is done, it will be ...

You almost never hear of a DC Watt Meter – one just does some mental math with Volts and Amps at the back of one’s head. An AC Watt Meter, on the other hand, can by pretty useful on any workbench.

Continental Control Systems has announced a new line of electric power meters, the WattNode Revenue. These meters are designed for use in applications requiring revenue-grade accuracy. The WattNode ...

The meters installed on the premises of the micro units to calculate electricity consumption charges do not have provision to calculate reactive power and hence power factor cannot be calculated based ...
