PROCEDURE:
1. Connections are made as per the circuit diagram.
2. The variac is kept at zero position and all the loads (three phase resistive loads) are kept in
OFF position.
3. TPST is switched ON and rated voltage is applied to the circuit by varying the variac.
4. The loads are switched ON one by one and the corresponding voltmeter, ammeter,
wattmeter readings are noted.
5. The readings are tabulated and the power and power factor values are calculated.

MODEL CALCULATION:
 Pre-Viva questions:

1. Define Power Factor.

2. What is real power?
3. What is reactive power?
4. What is apparent power?

Post-Viva questions:

1. List the different methods to measure power in three phase AC circuits.

2. What is the impact of power factor using different electrical loads?

3.Mention the reason for deflection of wattmeter in reverse direction.

RESULT:

Thus, the three-phase power measurement using R load has been measured and verified.
