Question
Three non-reactive loads are connected in delta across a three-phase, three-wire 400
V supply in the following way:
⚫10 kW between the red and yellow lines;
• 6 kW between the yellow and blue lines; and
• 4 kW between the blue and red lines.
Two wattmeters are available to measure the total power drawn by the three-phase
load. If the current coil of one of the wattmeter (W₁) is connected in the red line,
and its voltage coil connected across the red and yellow lines, calculate:
i. The power measured by wattmeter, W₁.
ii.
The power that would be measured by the other wattmeter (W2) if it was
correctly connected.
iii. The overall power factor of the three-phase load.
