    The document describes a two wattmeter method for measuring real power in three-phase circuits. The method uses two wattmeters to measure real power based on load power factor, which can be lagging or leading. Readings from the two wattmeters vary depending on whether the power factor is lagging or leading, as outlined in a table. An example problem is then shown to calculate the wattmeter readings for a 3-phase, 10 kVA load with a power factor of 0.342, in both the lagging and leading cases.
