Module10 Wattmeter

The document outlines methods for measuring power in three-phase loads using wattmeters, including one-wattmeter, two-wattmeter, and three-wattmeter methods. It provides sample problems demonstrating the calculation of total power input and power factor using the two-wattmeter method. Solutions to the sample problems are also included, showing the total power and individual wattmeter readings.

WATTMETER

Power in three-phase loads may be measured by the following


methods:

(i) One-wattmeter method for a balanced load

(ii) Two-wattmeter method for balanced or unbalanced loads

(iii)Three-wattmeter method for a three-phase, four-wire system for


balanced and unbalanced loads
(i) ONE-WATTMETER METHOD FOR A BALANCED LOAD
(ii) TWO-WATTMETER METHOD FOR BALANCED OR UNBAL ANCED LOADS
(iii) THREE-WATTMETER METHOD FOR A THREE-PHASE, FOUR-WIRE SYSTEM FOR BALANCED
AND UNBALANCED LOADS
WATTMETER
SAMPLE PROBLEM 1

Two wattmeters are connected to measure the input power to a


balanced three-phase load by the two-wattmeter method. If the
instrument readings are 8kW and 4kW, determine (a) the total power
input and (b) the load power factor.

Answers:

P = 12 kW
pf = 0.866
WATTMETER
SAMPLE PROBLEM 2

Two wattmeters connected to a three-phase motor indicate the


total power input to be 12kW. The power factor is 0.6. Determine
the readings of each wattmeter.

Answers:

P1 = 10.6188 kW
P2 = 1.3812 kW
