Measuring power factor and dissipation factor allows technicians to determine insulation reliability and address problems immediately before they cause too much trouble. Unexpected electrical breakdowns add up to labor and equipment replacement costs. To help save you money, you should always schedule maintenance checks regularly. If you don’t have the right equipment, you might to check out the Megger CB-100 power factor tester.
