what is the difference between LPF and UPF wattmeter and
where it is used.
Answer Posted / maniveer
LOW POWER FACTOR(LPF) & HIGH POWER FACTOR(UPF)
In open circuit test the secondary winding of transformer is kept open.As the secondary side is open, the entire coil will be purely inductive in nature.So the power will be lagging due to inductive property of the circuit. So LPF(Low Power Factor) Wattmeter is used in OPEN CIRCUIT TEST of Transformer.
In short circuit test the secondary winding of transformer is short circuited. As secondary side is short circuited the entire coil will be purely resistive in nature.So the power factor will be unity. So UPF(Unit Power Factor) Wattmeter is used in SHORT CIRCUIT TEST of Transformer.

In Power Line Communication (PLC) the wave trap is used to block communication signals from entering neighboring lines. My question is this: Why do they allow for different filtering arrangements on these wave traps? Isn't it always going to be a low pass filter since we want the power frequency to go through, and the comm signal blocked?
