Greetings
Pardon my ignorance, not being an engineer, my question is what instrument can one use to know the power factor of an electrical motor? Regards, Itos [Edited on 20/6/02 by Itos] [Edited on 26/6/02 by marke] |

Clip On Power facter meters are available that have two leads plus a clamp CT (like a clip on ameter) You connect the two leads, one to phase and the other to neutral. The current clamp goes around that phase conductor.
Siemens used to make such a device so they could be worth talking to. -------------------- Mark Empson administrator
