Operating Instructions

NOTE: Ensure that the jaws are clear of any conductors before applying power to the meter. The

meter performs an auto zero upon power-up to null any residual magnetism. If this is done with a

conductor inside the jaw area, the auto zero function will cause subsequent measurements to be

inaccurate.

DC/AC 1

NOTE: Before taking any measurements, zero the current (A) reading and set the rotary switch to

the KVA position.

Follow the steps listed in section entitled DC+AC 1φ2W Power (W) and Power Factor (PF)

measurement for these measurements. KVAR is a calculated value, and its accuracy greatly depends

on the accuracy of the V, A, and KW readings. To obtain a more accurate KVAR value when PF is

greater than 0.91 (φ< 25°), measure the phase angle and obtain the KVAR from the following equation

for a pure sine wave:

KVAR = KVA * sin φ

Calculation of 3

4W Power Factor (PF)

When measuring 3φ4W unbalanced power, use the REC button to record the individual power factors

(KWR(L1), PFR(L1), KWS(L2), PFS(L2), KWT(L3), and PFT(L3)) of each phase in memory. 3φ4W power factor can

be calculated using the following equation:

Improving the Power Factor of a 3

4W Power System

Measure the KVARR(or KVARL1), KVARS(or KVARL2 ), and KVART(or KVARL3) values of each phase.

Based upon the measured values, a 3φor 1φcapacitor at the rated voltage and frequency can be used

to improve the power factor. To find the value of capacitance, refer to the following equation.

Where:

f: frequency in Hz

V: phase voltage

It is recommended that the KVAR value of the capacitor a somewhat less than the value measured.

Improving the Power Factor of a 3

Balanced Power System

1. Measure the KVAR 3φvalue of a balanced system.

2. Based upon the measured value, a 3φcapacitor at the rated voltage and frequency can be used to

improve power factor.

3. To find the value of capacitance, refer to the equation in the section above.

4. It is recommended that the KVAR value of the capacitor be somewhat less than the value

measured.

Improving Power Factor of a 1

2W Power System

1. Measure KVAR value of a 1φ2W power system.

2. Based upon the measured value, users can purchase required capacitor at rated voltage and

frequency to improve power factor.

3. If value of capacitance is needed, obtain the value via the equation in the section entitled

"Improving Power Factor of 3-phase 4-wire System".

4. It is recommended that the KVAR value of the capacitor should be a little less than the value

measured.

NOTE: The indication of phase sequence is not limited to 3φbalanced power. It can be used in

general as long as the Power Factor is greater than 0.1.
