one phase, then multiply by three

A wattmeter W is connected with its current coil in one line

and the voltage circuit between that line and the neutral
point, the reading on the wattmeter gives the power per
phase:

By KVL
VRY = VRN - VYN

VBY = VBN - VYN
PW2 = iB ( VBN VYN )
PW1 = iR ( VRN VYN )
PW1 = iR ( VRN VYN )
VYN
VBY
PW2 = iB ( VBN VYN )
PT = PW1 + PW2
PT = iR ( VRN VYN ) + iB ( VBN VYN )
= iR VRN + iB VBN - VYN ( iR + iB )
Apply KCL at the neutral junction:
I R + I Y + IB = 0
IR + IB = - IY
PT = iR VRN + iB VBN + iY VYN

The sum of the two wattmeter readings gives the total active power under all
conditions
We only need two wattmeter to read 3-phase active power
10
Sometimes, with analog wattmeters, one of the meter will

read backward (negative).
To get the correct reading, reverse either its voltage or
current connection. The actual value obtained from this is
now negative.
Example:
1. In two wattmeter method, the readings are 2 kW and 5 kW
respectively. What is the total active power?
Ans: 7 kW
2. In two wattmeter method, the readings are 5 kW and -2

kW respectively. What is the total active power?
Ans: 3 kW

From the two wattmeter method, we can get power factor by

using

measured by the 2-wattmeter method. The readings
were 5.2kW and -1.7kW, and the line voltage was 400V.

CONCLUSION OF POWER SYSTEM LOADS
- Above Figure shows briefly on how both single-phase & three-phase can be
connected to the power system
- Residential and business customers require only single-phase, while industrial
customers needs both
- In order to approximately balance the system, TNB tries to connect 1/3 of its
single phase loads to each phase
- Real loads are seldom expressed in term of resistance, capacitance and
inductance. They are describe in terms of power, PF and so on. Eg: 100W bulb, 16
not 100ohm bulb!
Practice
A balance three phase Y- connected generator with positive sequence is connected to a Yconnected load as shown ni Figure S3. The load impedance is 39+j28 per phase. The
impedance of the transmission line connecting the generator to the load is 1+j2 per phase.
The R-phase generator voltage ERN is specified as the reference phasor.
1) Construct a single phase equivalent circuit of the system.
2) Calculate the three (3) line currents IRr, IYy, IBb and return current InN.
3) Calculate the three (3) phase voltages at the load, Vrn, Vyn, Vbn.
4) Calculate the three (3) line voltages at the terminal of the load, Vry, Vyb, Vbr.
5) Calculate apparent power, active power and reactive power at a single phase load
6) Calculate total three phase apparent power, active power and reactive power at the load
7) Draw a phasor diagram showing all voltages and currents at the load
