Alternative term: Phase-angle meter

An instrument that measures the difference of phase between two alternating electric quantities of the same frequency.


Note: The term power-factor meter refers to a phase meter for which the quantities are the voltage and current at a point of a circuit and in which the indication is of power factor.




Please note that this is the term as it stands in the original IALA Dictionary edition (1970-1989)
