    The document summarizes the construction and working principle of an electrodynamometer type power factor meter. It consists of two coils - a fixed current coil and a moving pressure coil. The current coil carries the circuit current while the pressure coil has two identical coils, one with a non-inductive resistance and the other with a highly inductive choke coil. When the power factor is unity, equal currents flow through both pressure coils, resulting in no deflecting torque. When the power factor lags, an angle develops between the current and voltage, causing an unbalanced torque that deflects the pointer to indicate the power factor.
