(OP)
Anyone know of a good meter to measure, adjust & monitor PF for such an application?

RE: Power Factor Meter for 200 KW grid tied generator
1) What do you have in terms of PTs and CTs?
2) Does you exciter controls not presently control pf? What is the make /model of this controller (or is it embedded into the main generator controller)?
3) Where is setpoint coming from for this new pf controller?
4) Do you currently have a digital power meter associated with the gen-set? If so, make & model svp?

It's a 2400 V, 3-Ph generator - 2-20:1 PT's & 3-CT's. PF/VAR controller is an older Basler (analog) SCP 250. I suspect it's doing a decent job but need it has no output so there's no way to tell.
Thanks.
