Power Factor applies to all A.C.(alternating current) power supplies. It ma not be apparent when a purely resistive load is applied as this offers a PF of 1.0 but any other load type will have a power factor somewhere between 0.0 and 1.0.

What is the difference between single phase and three phase voltage measurement?
Phasing, or the number of phases in an electrical system has nothing to do with the voltage. A single phase and three phase supply could have a voltage supply of any given voltage from virtually 0 to infinity. Most single phase power supplies in the US are 120/208-240 volt. Three phase power supplies are typically 120/208 to 277/480 volt.
What are the types of power factor?
there are 3 types of power factor meter: 1). electrodynamic power factor meter, 2).moving-iron power factor meter and 3). nalder-lipman moving-iron power factor meter.
What is the nature of power factor and its variation with firing angle when a single phase voltage controller feeds a resistive load?
With a pure resistive load the Power Factor should be 1.
How you convert the value of single phase power to value of 3 phase power?
Electric power is measured in watts. It does not matter if it is single phase or three phase. All things being equal, for the same load, the power measured in a single phase circuit or a three phase circuit, will be the same.
Do televisions use single-phase or 3-phase power?
Answer 1: TV's use single-phase power. Answer 2: TV's use single phase power of 220 or 110 volts ac power depending on what part of the world you live in.

How does a 3 phase meter handle using on 220 volt single phase and does the meter measure the wattage usage accurately?
A 3-phase meter measures the sum of the power in the three phases, so if power is drawn on one phase only it will still be correctly measured.

What do you mean by phase error in induction type energy meter?
IT means when torque is not zero even at zero power factor?? are you in IPU??
What is the formula of active power?
For a single-phase system, active (or 'true') power is the product of the supply voltage, the load current, and the power factor of the load.
What is a cos meter?
Power Factor Meter
What is the nature of power factor and its variation with firing angle when a single phase voltage controller feeds a resistive load?
With a pure resistive load the Power Factor should be 1.
How do you figure kw in a three phase system?
The watt meter on three phase system is the same as the one on your house except that it monitors all three phases at once. The meter base is called a 7 jaw base which monitors the three phases and the neutral. The house meter is a 5 jaw meter. The watt meter is a totalizer which keeps track to the watts consumed by the dials on the face of the meter, which gets read monthly by the power supplier.
How do you calculate amp draw if you have 1 phase volts and kw?
For a single phase supply: you need to know the volts, kW and the power factor. If the power factor is unknown, assume 0.75, except for heating elements which have a power factor of 1. Multiply the kW number by 1000 then divide by the voltage. The answer should be divided by the power factor to find the current in amps.
Can electricity deliver power when the phase is negative against the neutral?
Provided the load has a power factor of 1 power is transferred when the live is both positive and negative. The power pulsates at double the supply frequency in a single-phase system
What do you do if the disk in your electric meter is turning in the wrong direction?
If this is a three phase VAR meter then you have a leading power factor. There is too much capacitive reactance in the distributions load. This could be from a power factor correction bank of capacitors that did not drop off line when the motor that they were correcting dropped out.
How you convert the value of single phase power to value of 3 phase power?
Electric power is measured in watts. It does not matter if it is single phase or three phase. All things being equal, for the same load, the power measured in a single phase circuit or a three phase circuit, will be the same.
