    is it possible to somehow easily determine the cos phi of a 3-phase motor? is it possible with a true rms voltmeter and ammeter?

    Power factor - cos? is a measure of energy use.

    Active, reactive and apparent power can be represented graphically as a right triangle, called the power triangle. This triangle shows that the power factor is the ratio of the active power to the apparent power:

    AC receivers receive apparent power S from the source and transmit active power P to the outside in the form of thermal or mechanical energy.

    So you have to measure the absorbed power and the exported power. Power taken alone won't do much for you.

    Yes, I know that it is best to read on the plate, and what if it is not there? (theoretically), or otherwise the engine will work with a different load and in this case the cos phi will certainly change and how to check it on a regular basis?

    How is it implemented in professional reactive power regulators?

    There are meters that show cos?. The principle of operation is similar to a wattmeter. And the compensation systems do it in different ways. Measure the time between the zero crossing of the voltage sine wave and the zero crossing of the current sinusoid. The time obtained is adequate to the cosine. The second method is to multiply the instantaneous values of current and voltage and divide it by the product of the rms.
