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

Need additional info;
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?

Hi:

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.
