Fluke 1743, 1744 tanϕ total

1744/1743 Users Manual

Tangent φ total on all three phases		Qtotal
	tanϕ total =
		Ptotal
Active energy per phase and total	Active power accumulated on each
	logging interval

Note

The sign of the active power P gives the direction of the power flow (positive: from generator to load), and the sign of the power factor distinguishes between inductive load (positive) and capacitive load (negative).

Sign of PF, tan φ, cos φ:

•Sign “+” : Q positive (“inductive”)

•Sign “–” : Q negative (“capacitive”) independent of the sign of active power P
