A 230 V, single phase, watt hour meter has a constant load of 5A passing through it for 8 hours at unity power factor. If the meter constant is 460 revolutions per kWh, how many revolutions does the meter disc make during this period? If the same meter makes 1638 revolutions when operating at 230 V and a constant load of 6 A passing through it for certain duration at a power factor of 0.86, determine the duration of operation of the meter in hours.

A 230 V, single phase, watt hour meter has a constant load of 5A passing through it for 8 hours
at unity power factor.
If the meter constant is 460 revolutions per kWh, how many
revolutions does the meter disc make during this period? If the same meter makes 1638
revolutions when operating at
230 V and a constant load of 6 A passing through it for
certain duration at a power factor of 0.86, determine the duration of operation of the meter in
hours.
