Best Answer

Because a dynamometer is used to measure the mechanical power output of a motor or engine. There are ways of measuring the power factor directly, for example use a plug-in power and energy monitor.

What is single phase power factor meter?

Power Factor applies to all A.C.(alternating current) power supplies. It ma not be apparent when a purely resistive load is applied as this offers a PF of 1.0 but any other load type will have a power factor somewhere between 0.0 and 1.0.

Why VAR meter does not measure real and apparent power?

A VAr meter only measures the reactive (imaginary) power. Apparent power is a combination of real and reactive power; thus having a VAr meter will not suffice to measure apparent power. Likewise, because the VAr meter only measures reactive power, it does not provide any information on real power.
