Two wattmeters are used to measure power in a three phase, three-wire network. Show by means of connection and complexor (phasor) diagrams that the sum of the wattmeter readings will measure the total active power. Two such wattmeters read 120 W and 50 W when connected to measure the active power taken by a balanced three-phase load. Find the power factor of the load. If one wattmeter tends to read in the reverse direction, explain what changes may have occurred in the circuit ANS: 0.815
