In KVA calculation – There is ambiguity seen. (Even Forum of Regulators [FOR] – CERC and Discoms in India) In August 2009 – Metering issues – release of “FOR” indicates these various methods and there is no specific indication on which is to be used.

Additionally, same FOR release document indicated suggestion for HT and New meters to be KVAH billed with fundamental values of KVA. Even though it is coming under “suggestions” section, this official documents indicates that harmonics (Distortion) are not to be considered in KVAH calculations. Really need to know if there is some new release that indicates that harmonics are included in KVAH metering (in India) or it is not.
