    Hi, Darrel

    May be you could find a turnaround ...

    if you found an info, on motor id. plates ; a number like "cos xx = .85"

    Generally it's written there. May be also in the motors datas ...


    your intensity will be

    SQR ( ( I1_meas. * sin xx1 + I2_meas. * sin xx2 )^2 + ( I1_meas. * cos xx1 + I2_meas. * cos xx2 )^2 )

    with I1_meas, xx1 related to motor 1 and I2, xx2 to motor 2.

    this could seriously simplify things ... don't you think ???

    certainly the answer is " RTFM " or " RTFDataSheet " !!!

    Got me all excited with that one Alain.

    Made a spreadsheet, was playing with the numbers, kinda almost could see how it might work.
    Went to find the cos = .xx ...
    Oh no! Don't have that info.

    For an inductive circuit like this, it's the Power Factor. However, for more complex non-linear circuits it gets more complicated.

    Hi, Darrel

    You've one left chance ... on the motor itself, there's a metal little sheet where it MIGHT be written. ( a summary of the main characteristics ... including this COSxx )

    Alain

    HEYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY ..

    POWER FACTOR = 66 ...% on 17th line !!! .... means Cos xx = .66 and Sin xx = .75

    You had it under the eyes !!!

    Default fooling utility meter

    the only way to make a utility meter to run backwords is to supply power back out to them.
    a pure capacative load will draw amps at 90' but not turn meter.
