Question
Topic: "Measurement of Power in a 3 Phase Circuit"—Two Wattmeter
The power flowing in a 3-phase, 3 wire, balanced load system is measured by the two wattmeter
method. The reading on wattmeter A is 5000 W and on wattmeter B is -1000 W.(a) What is the
power factor of the system. (b) If the voltage of the circuit is 440, what value of capacitance which
must be introduced into each phase to cause the whole of the power measured to appear on
wattmeter A
