    The two wattmeter method can be used to measure power in a 3-phase, 3-wire system with either a star or delta connected load configuration. The method involves connecting the current coils of two wattmeters to two lines (e.g. R and Y lines) and connecting the potential coils of both wattmeters to the third line (B line). The total power absorbed by the three-phase load is equal to the sum of the power measurements from the two wattmeters. For a star connection, the instantaneous power measured by each wattmeter is calculated based on the current and potential differences. For a delta connection, a similar process is used to calculate the power measured by each wattmeter

    Two Wattmeter Method

    Two Wattmeter Method of Power


    Measurement
    Two Wattmeter Method can be employed to measure the power in a
    3 phase, three wire star or delta connected the balanced or unbalanced
    load. In Two wattmeter method the current coils of the wattmeter are
    connected with any two lines, say R and Y and the potential coil of
    each wattmeter is joined on the same line, the third line i.e. B as
    shown below in figure (A).

    The total instantaneous power absorbed by the three loads Z1, Z2 and
    Z3, are equal to the sum of the powers measured by the Two
    wattmeters, W1 and W2.

    Measurement of Power by Two Wattmeter Method in Star


    Connection
    Considering the above figure (A) in which Two Wattmeter W1 and
    W2 are connected, the instantaneous current through the current coil
    of Wattmeter, W1 is given by the equation shown below.

    Instantaneous potential difference across the potential coil of


    Wattmeter, W1 is given as

    Instantaneous power measured by the Wattmeter, W1 is

    The instantaneous current through the current coil of Wattmeter, W2


    is given by the equation

    Instantaneous potential difference across the potential coil of


    Wattmeter, W2 is given as

    Instantaneous power measured by the Wattmeter, W2 is

    Therefore, the Total Power Measured by the Two Wattmeters W1 and


    W2 will be obtained by adding the equation (1) and (2).
    Where P – the total power absorbed in the three loads at any instant.

    Measurement of Power by Two Wattmeter Method in


    Delta Connection
    Considering the delta connected circuit shown in the figure below.

    The
    instantaneous current through the coil of the Wattmeter, W1 is given
    by the equation

    Instantaneous Power measured by the Wattmeter, W1 will be


    Therefore, the instantaneous power measured by the Wattmeter, W1
    will be given as

    The instantaneous current through the current coil of the Wattmeter,


    W2 is given as

    The instantaneous potential difference across the potential coil of


    Wattmeter, W2 is

    Therefore, the instantaneous power measured by Wattmeter, W2 will


    be

    Hence, to obtain the total power measured by the Two Wattmeter the
    two equations, i.e. equation (3) and (4) has to be added.

    Where P is the total power absorbed in the three loads at any instant.
    The power measured by the Two Wattmeter at any instant is the
    instantaneous power absorbed by the three loads connected in three
    phases. In fact, this power is the average power drawn by the load
    since the Wattmeter reads the average power because of the inertia of
    their moving system.
