The meter constant of a single-phase, 100 V induction watt-meter is 600 rev/kW-h. The speed of the meter disc for a current of 15 A at 0.8 power factor lagging will be?(a) 30.3 rpm(b) 16 rpm(c) 12 rpm(d) 33.1 rpmThis question was addressed to me in class test.This interesting question is from Advanced Miscellaneous Problems on Measurement of Power topic in division Measurement of Power and Related Parameters of Electrical Measurements

Answer»

Right OPTION is (c) 12 rpm

For explanation: METER CONSTANT = \(\frac{Number \,of\, REVOLUTION}{Energy}\)

Number of revolution = \(\frac{600 × 100 × 15 × 0.8}{1000}\) = 720

∴ Speed in rpm = \(\frac{720}{60}\) = 12 rpm.
