Reversing the polarity of one current transformer in a two-element energy meter installation would

  • A.make the meter register the difference of the two element powers
  • B.have no effect
  • C.cause the disc to seize because the two torques would be equal and opposite
  • D.double the registration

Answer: A

One element's torque reverses, so instead of the sum of the two readings the meter registers their difference. On a balanced load at unity power factor that would give nearly zero, which is a common sign of a reversed connection in the field.
