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.
