    This document describes an experiment to measure power in a 3-phase circuit using two wattmeters and determine the power factor. The experiment can be done for both star and delta connected loads. Key steps include connecting the circuit and wattmeters as shown in the diagram, taking voltage, current and power readings, calculating total power and power factor, and discussing results with precautions.

    1.3 THEORY: Power consumed by a 3-phase balanced or unbalanced load (star/delta connected)
    can be measured by using 2-wattmeters properly connected in the circuit. The current coil of the
    wattmeter are connected in series with the load in any two line. Whereas the pressure coils are connected
    between these two lines and the third line. The phasor diagram of this circuit assuming balanced lagging
    load has been shown in the figure. Under running conditions the power consumed by the three phase
    system is the sum of the two individual wattmeters.
    Mathematically, the total power consumed,

    Where,
    Power consumed by wattmeter1 (W1) =
    Power consumed by wattmeter 2 (W2) =

    When the load power factor is less then 0.5 then wattmeter 2 will show the correct deflection and first
    wattmeter will show the reverse deflection. In the first wattmeter the current coil or voltage coil

    connection is reversed. Thus the wattmeter pointer direction is corrected. The net power is obtained by
    adding the two wattmeter readings.
    Power angle is given by:

    Then the power factor of the load can be calculated as:
