The document discusses several problems involving measuring three-phase power using two wattmeters. It includes examples where the total power and power factor of a load is calculated from wattmeter readings, as well as examples finding the individual wattmeter readings given the total power and power factor. The final example involves calculating the number of lamps in a delta connected load by measuring the power with the potential coil of a wattmeter connected across different line combinations.

1.

Discuss the various method used for measurement of three phase power in three phase
circuit.

2. 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 8 kW and 4 kW, determine (a)
the total power input and (b) the load power factor.

3. 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.

4. Two wattmeters indicate 10 kW and 3 kW, respectively, when connected to measure the input
power to a three-phase balanced load, the reverse switch being operated on the meter
indicating the 3 kW reading. Determine (a) the input power and (b) the load power factor.

5. Problem 18. Three similar coils, each having a resistance of 8 Ω and an inductive reactance
of 8 Ω, are connected (a) in star and (b) in delta, across a 415 V, three-phase supply.
Calculate for each connection the readings on each of two wattmeters connected to measure
the power by the two-wattmeter method.

6. A factory is supplied by a three-phase. 3-wtre system with the following characteristics:

Vab = 230∠0° V Ia = 110∠-36.87° A


Vbc = 230∠240° V Ic = 125∠53.13° A

Determine the power consumed by the load.

7. A number of incandescent lamps are connected in delta across the lines of a balanced 230
V. 3-phase. 3-wire system. A single-phase wattmeter is connected in the circuit. The current
coil of the meter is connected in line 1 while the potential coil is connected across lines 1 and
3. This wattmeter registers 8.4 kW If the potential terminal of the meter. which was connected
in line 3. is transferred to line 2. the wattmeter reads 7 5 kW. If each lamp is rated 100 W.
how many lamps are connected across lines 1 and 2. Assume lamp pf to be unity.
