Why consumers are charged based on Kwh basis why not on
Kvah basis.

Answer Posted / mahavir jagdev

They can be charged in Kvah only in case of DC transmision. In AC transmission due to the inductive or capacitive load the power factor comes into play, hence the effective metering is done on Kwh basis. Infact the energy company instruct the consumer whow has a lot of inductive load (motors) to put capacitor banks to keep the power factor within 0.85 region for lower powerline losses.

I have made a 3 phase thyristor full bridge rectifier. But at the moment it is working only for the half bridge operation. Both the half bridges are on operation separately but when i put it into full bridge operation the oscilloscope output is zero. I rechecked that the pulses are correct for each thyristor. what could be the possible reason for this?
