Abstract :
In testing load circuit interrupting devices for electric power systems, it is necessary to determine the power factor of the test circuit. There has previously been some difficulty in making this measurement. This problem is discussed, and a circuit is described which has been used to measure conveniently the phase angle between the source voltage and the load current.
