For a 20 A, 230 V energy meter, the number of revolutions per KWh is 480. If upon test at full load, the disc makes 50 revolutions in 76 seconds, determine the error in the following as a percentage of metered values:
(i)power consumed and
(ii) energy consumed. Comment on the results. Suggest the corrective actions to be taken.
A dc series motor drives a load a 30rev/s and takes a current of 10A when the supply voltage is 400V. If the total resistance of the
