What is low power factor watt meter?

A wattmeter reads the true power of a load, regardless of its power factor.


What wattmeter indicate for blocked rotor test?

There is one thing that watt-meter indicates of blocked rotor test. That is the voltage flows and in blocked rotor test.


Does watt meter reading go negative?

Yes!


Why is the electric watt meter connected in series with the rest of the circuits in the house?

First of all, you are referring to an energy meter, not a wattmeter. A wattmeter measures power, in watts, whereas an energy meter reads energy, in watt hours (or, more specifically, kilowatt hours). The energy company bills you for energy, not power.Having said that, the connections each instrument are the same. In fact, there are two coils inside an energy meter: a current coil, and a voltage (or potential) coil. The current coil is connected in series with the load while the voltage coil is connected in parallel with the supply voltage.The current coil measures the in-phase component of the current drawn by your load, so that the instrument always reads the true power (multiplied by time -the function of the aluminium disc) of the load -i.e. not the apparent power or reactive power.


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.

Why watt-meter is required to measure real power delivered to a purely resistive load?

A wattmeter (not 'watt-meter') will always measure the true power of a load, regardles of whether that load is purely resistive or not. This is because a wattmeter effectively measures the in-phase component of the load current.


What would be the readings of the two watt meter if the load is purely resistive and purely reactive?

A purely resistive load would indicate whatever watts would be normal for that load. A purely reactive load would indicate zero on the watt meter, in the theoretical case, because the power factor would be zero.


What does wattmetre indicates in brake test?

A watt-meter brake test means the produced in a cylinder. This is the measure torque during the test.

Do you need only a watt-meter in a three phase power?

To measure the power of a three-phase load, you need to use one less wattmeter than there are conductors supplying that load.


Is a 1000 watt load that operates for one hour consumes the same about of energy as A100 watt load that operates for 10 hours?

Yes. The energy consumption in both cases is 3.6 megajoules or 1 kilowatt-hour. That's what registers on the meter outside, and that's what you pay for.


Why you reset the zero point on the watt meter?

So that the result that you find on the watt meter after resetting it will be accurate


What is the relation between Newton meter and watt?

1 Watt = 1 Joule / Second = 1 Newton-meter / Second.


What is easier to measure volts amps or watt?

If you have the right test equipment amps are the easiest to measure. A slip over the wire amp meter is easier to use than a clamp on amp meter. The other two values have to be measured by using test leads from the test equipment.
