Question

What is multiplying factor in wattmeter

Answer 1

hello mate ⚘

Definition of multiplication factor. :

the ratio of the number of neutrons produced in a nuclear pile to the number disappearing that must equal or exceed unity for a chain reaction to take place. — called also reproduction constant, reproduction factor.

for finding the multiple factor of wattmeter ...

Step 1: Note the voltage range.

Step 2: Note the current range.

Step3: The Multiplication Factor (MF) is:

MF = (voltage range x current range x power factor)/(range of the wattmeter scale)...

Answer 2

Multiplying factor in Wattmeter is to find the small scale wattmeter with the help of parameter of virtue to get the power readings.

Definition of Wattmeter;

Wattmeter- An instrument that measures the electric powers in the units of watt.

Functions of multiplying factor in Wattmeter;

• As the name represents the multiplying factor of wattmeter it can show the reading up to 5-6 times to get the smallest wattmeter.
• The average rate of electrical energy is calculated by simpler means.
• The flow of current with the smallest range is shown. These are used for the measurement of utility of frequency as well as in the audio frequency.
• The Wattmeter is used to convert the electrical energy into mechanical energy.

Therefore, Wattmeter is used to find the electrical energy. The multiplying factor of Wattmeter calculates the smallest Wattmeter into multiple times.
