1. If two wattmeters are used to measure total power in a three-phase three-wire system does each meter measure single-phase power? Explain. 2. What is the significance of a negative indication on a wattmeter? 3. Would only one wattmeter be needed to measure the total three-phase power on a balanced three-phase four-wire system? Explain.

Question
1. If two wattmeters are used to measure total power in a three-phase three-wire system
does each meter measure single-phase power? Explain.
2. What is the significance of a negative indication on a wattmeter?
3. Would only one wattmeter be needed to measure the total three-phase power on a
balanced three-phase four-wire system? Explain.
4. Must you see two wattmeters to measure the total three-phase power on a balanced
three-phase three-wire system? Explain.
5. Can a wattmeter that has a current through its current coil and a potential across its
voltage coil, indicate zero? Explain.
