1: Simulator For Verification: Three Phase Power Measurement by Two Wattmeter Method

This document provides details about measuring power in a three-phase circuit using two wattmeters. It includes the connection diagram, relevant equations, and procedures for conducting the experiment under both balanced and unbalanced load conditions. The aim is to determine the total power consumed in the circuit by measuring it with two wattmeters connected to two phases and comparing the readings to the theoretical calculation. Procedures are given for setting up the circuit with a balanced load using a ganged rheostat and with an unbalanced load using separate rheostats. Observations of voltages, currents and wattmeter readings would be recorded under each condition.

APPARATUS REQUIRED AND THEIR SPECIFICATION:
1: Simulator For Verification

THEORY:
Three phase power measurement by two wattmeter method.

[Fig 1: Connection diagram for three phase power measurement using


two wattmeter method]

 
   The connection diagram for the measurement of power in three phase power measurement circuit using
two wattmeter's method is shown in figure 1. This is irrespective of the circuit connection star or delta. The
circuit may be taken as balanced or unbalanced one, balanced type being only a special case. Please not the
connection of two wattmeter's. The current coil of the wattmeter's 1 and 2 in series with R and B phase with
the pressure voltage coils being connected across R-Y and B-Y respectively. Y is the third phase in which
no current coil is connected.

   If star connected circuit is taken as an example the total instantaneous power consumed in the circuit is, 

`W= I_(RN)*V(RN) + I_(YN)*V(YN) + I_(BN)*V_(BN)` . . . (1)


 
    Each of the terms in the above expression equation (1) is the instantaneous power consumed by the
phases. From the connection diagram, the circuit in and the voltages across the respective (current, pressure
or voltage) coils in the wattmeter, W1 are `I_(RN)`   and ` V_(RY) = V_(RN) - V_(YN)`.

So, the instantaneous power measured by the wattmeter W1 is `W_1 = I_(RN)*V_(RY)`.

Similarly the instantaneous power measured by the wattmeter W2 is . `W_2 = I_(BN)*V_(BY) = I_(BN)*
(V_(BN) - V_(YN))`
 
Some of the two readings as given above is,

Equation (1) is compared with equation (3)  to give the total instantaneous power consumed in the circuit .
They are found to be same. The phasor diagram of three phase balanced star connected circuit is shown in
figure 2.

Procedure:

BALANCED LOAD :
Fig. 1. Three phase power measurement circuit under balance condition

 
1. Connect the circuit as shown in Fig. 1.
2. Adjust the ganged rheostat for the maximum resistance.
3. Switch on the supply.
4. Close switch `S_1`.
5. Read the meters to obtain `V_L, I_1, I_2` and `I_3`. Note the wattmeter reading `W_1` and
`W_2`(Note the multiplying factor on the wattmeter).
6. Vary the load resistance and obtain at least five sets of observations, the current should not
exceed the limit (4.1 A).

 
UNBALANCED LOAD :

Fig. 2.   Three phase power measurement circuit under unbalance condition

 
1. Connect the circuit as shown in Fig. 2.
2. Replace the ganged rheostat by three separate rheostats of 26 Ω, 4.1 A and connect in
a star.
3. Adjust the three rheostats at the maximum values.
4. Switch on the supply and set the autotransformer to 110 V.
5. Close switch S1 and take five sets of observation for different rheostat settings such
that the reading of `I_1`, `I_2`and `I_3` in each set is appreciably different to create
unbalanced loading condition. The current should not exceed the limits in each arm.
