What is the relation between the current flowing through the pressure coil and the supply voltage in an Energy meter?

What is the relation between the current flowing through the pressure coil and the supply voltage in an Energy meter? Correct Answer Current lags behind 90 degrees than the supply voltage

Lag adjustment:

  • In the induction type energy meters, in order to maintain the speed of rotation proportional to power The phase angle between the supply voltage and pressure coil flux should be equal to 90o. However, in actual practice, the angle between the supply voltage and pressure coil flux is exactly not 90o but few degrees less. Therefore, some lag adjustments require.
  • Lag adjustment adjusts the angle between current in pressure coil and supply voltage equal to 90othat means Current lags behind 90 degrees than the supply voltage.
  • Lag adjustment can be done by adjusting shading bands on shunt magnet.

Torque equation in energy meter:

Td = Is Ip sin(Δ - ϕ )

Td = Deflecting torque

v = Supply voltage 

IP = Current in pressure coil

Δ = 90o = Angle between V and IP  

Is = current in series coil

Td = Is Ip sin(90 - ϕ)  { Δ = 90o }

T= Is Ip cosϕ 

T∝ V I cosϕ ∝ P

Modern civilization is completely dependent on energy, which has therefore to be abundant and also economical. About 85% of the world's energy is supplied by oil, coal and natural gas while nuclear, hydro, wind and solar power and biomass supply the rest. Coal, nuclear and hydro are used primarily to generate electricity while natural gas is widely used for heating. Biomass is used both for heating and cooking. The wind and solar power is the future's hope as they are sustainable energy sources. Oil powers almost all machines that move and that makes oil uniquely versatile. Oil powered airplanes carry 500 people across the widest oceans at nearly the speed of sound. Oil powered machines produce and transport food. Oil powered machines are ubiquitous. Clearly, we live in the age of oil but it is drawing to a close. According to data available if oil production remains constant until it's gone, there is enough to last 42 years. Oil wells will produce less as they become depleted, which will make it impossible to keep production constant. Similarly natural gas and coal will last another 61 years and 133 years respectively. Naturally, as they become scarce, they become expensive, leading to a worldwide energy crisis. If we are to survive on this planet, we have to make a transition to sustainable energy sources. The transition may be willy-nilly or planned - the choice is ours. The dawning era of limited and expensive energy will be very difficult for everyone on earth but will be even more difficult if it is not anticipated.
