    #1-If you have a dedicated Whr test set it is easiest.

    #2-With a 3 Phase Relay Test set as a source and a separate reference meter will work well

    #3 Omicron has equipment that works quite well with various adaptors to sense IR/LED pulse or KYZ from meter and does not need a separate reference.

    #4 Old school, single phase "phantom load". A variac, large power resistor and reference meter.

    #5 The Radian equipment is well respected and the price reflects that. There are certain very high accuracy class meters that will require a Radian.

    You can rent all of the above equipment.

    The tests are (from memory)

    Full Load 100% Power Factor
    50% Load 100% Power Factor
    Light (10% of CT Sec) 100% Power Factor

    Full Load 50% Power Factor
    50% Load 50% Power Factor
    Light (10% of CT Sec) 50% Power Factor

    Typical Test Registers are 1.8

    DUT pulses are compared after a certain duration. Calculate % difference = 100- (% difference)=% Registration
