    This document discusses power measurements in three-phase circuits. It explains that a wattmeter is used to measure power as it takes into account the power factor. The wattmeter consists of a current coil and pressure coil. Various errors in wattmeter readings are discussed due to inductance, capacitance, and eddy currents. Different methods for connecting wattmeters in circuits and calculating power in three-phase four-wire, three-wire, star, and delta configurations are presented. The determination of power factor from wattmeter readings for balanced loads is also covered.

    Introduction
    Power may be defined as the rate at which energy is transformed oe made

    available In almost all cases the power in a d.c. circuit is best measured by separately measuring quantities, V and I and by computing P=VI In case of a.c. circuits the instantaneous power varies continuously as the current and voltage go through a cycle of values The fact that the power factor is involved in the expression for the power means that a wattmeter must be used instead of merely an ammeter and voltmeter.

    Wattmeter
    A wattmeter is essentially an inherent combination of an ammeter and a voltmeter

    and, therefore , consists of two coils known as current coil and pressure coil. Wattmeter connection:

    Wattmeter Errors

    Error due to inductance of pressure coil


    True power cos Re ading of wattmeter cos cos

    Error due to pressure coil capacitance

    sin sin cot

    Error due to Eddy currents : soild metal parts are removed as far away from the

    current coil as possible

    Error due to power loss in pressure coil or current coil There are two method of connecting wattmeters in the circuit for measurement

    of power, as shown in figure below (a) and (b).

    measuring 3-phase 3-wire power :


    (a) star connected, P=W1+W2

    (b) delta connected P=W1+W2

    Determination of P.F. from Wattmeter Reading


    If load is balanced, then p.f. of the

    load can be determined from the wattmeter readings
