    THEORY
    The energy meter is an integrated type of instrument where the speed of rotation of the
    aluminum disc is directly proportional to power consumed and the number of revolution per
    minute is proportional to the energy consumed by the load. The ratings associated with the
    energy meter are

    Voltage rating

    Frequency rating
    Meter constants
    The driving system of the meter provides the rotational torque for the moving system,
    which in turn activates the energy registration system for reading purposes. The energy meter is
    operated on induction principle, in which the eddy current induced in the aluminum disc interacts
    with the main field and creates the driving torque.
    This system employs phantom loading. Here, the phase shifting transformer to supply
    the voltage of varying power factor to the potential coil of energy meter. The system phase
    supply is used to supply current of energy required value to the current coil of energy meter.
    Thus energy meter is tested under various power factor loads without applying any actual load.
    This is called phantom loading.
    PROCEDURE

    1. Give the connections as per the circuit diagram.


    2. Switch on the three phase supply through phase shifting transformer. Also switch on the
    single phase supply through autotransformer. The autotransformer should be kept in
    minimum position before switching on.
    3. Set the 5A current in ammeter with the help of auto transformer.
    4. Now note down the voltage, current and power from the respective meters. Also note the
    time required for the disc to rotate hundred times.
    5. Repeat step 3 for various power factors The power factor is set with the help of phase
    shifting transformer.
    6. Tabulate the readings and do the necessary calculations.
