Abstract :
A watt-hour meter on intermittent loads of a particular character may have a registration error. The magnitude of error is a function of the meter design, the periodicity of the intermittent component of load, ratio of intermittent component to total load, character of intermittent component, power factor of load, and adjustment of the friction compensation. The registration characteristic of a meter on most types of intermittent load can be predicted from the acceleration and deceleration curves for the meter disk.
