Hi all,

Anyone know the principal of clamp meter which can measure power factor ? As I know, clamp meter only measure the current in the conductor (AC supply) using its clamp, so my question how it can measure power factor of AC supply ?

here some sample of the clamp meter.

So anyone can help me on explaning the principal as I need to build some equipment to able calculate/measure power factor.

Hi,

There is no magic here.
Download the manual, and check the circuit diagrams of power measurement:

Page 12 - Figure 3.
You have to connect not only the clamp, but the voltage measure wires too.
