We have one Energy meter for Measuring the
voltage,current,power,energy(KWH,KVARH,KVAH) & power
factor.The problem is that the meter does not show whether
the PF is lagging or leading.So i want to know that is
there any way or calculation to find out that whether the
PF sign (lagging or leading) depending upon the above
mentioned parameters?
Answer Posted / john
Is this a revenue meter from the utility company or a power
quality meter? In the case of a power quality meter, there
should be something letting you know if your PF is in a lead
or lagging. I have an Amprobe DMII Pro and it showes an i
after the PF to indicate lagging, .98i, and a c to indicate
leading, .98c. I have also seen meters with lagging PF -0.98
and leading +0.98. Another simple thing you can do is look
at your VAR, if it is in the negative, your in a lead.
As far as a revenue meter from the utility company is
concerned, call the utility company and ask them.

Hi, Next week Iam appearing RRB exam for section engineer. So help me to get modal question papers for this position. Iam very thankful to you. Whether question will be fully techanical format or general form. Please give me a details regarding this exam.
I have made a 3 phase thyristor full bridge rectifier. But at the moment it is working only for the half bridge operation. Both the half bridges are on operation separately but when i put it into full bridge operation the oscilloscope output is zero. I rechecked that the pulses are correct for each thyristor. what could be the possible reason for this?
3 shows a 415 V, 3-phase generator supplying a 3-phase 415/110 V transformer. Draw the individual and combined impedance diagrams to a base of 10 kVA. Determine the system fault kVA and the fault currents at the 415 V and 110 V busbars for short circuit faults on the transformer input or output terminals. Work in p.u. values of impedances.
