Demonstrate that two wattmeters are sufficient to measure power in a three phase balanced star connected circuit with the help of neat circuit diagram and phasor diagram.

3 a]Demonstrate that two wattmeters are sufficient to measure power in a three phase balanced star connected circuit with the help of neat circuit diagram and phasor diagram.

two wattmeter method

The W1 is connected between phase R and B
The W2 is connected between phase Y and B

W_{1}=V_{RB}I_{R}\cos(V_{RB\angle}I_{R}) and

W_{2}=V_{YB}I_{Y}\cos(V_{YB\angle}I_{Y})
phasor diagram

the angle between VRB & IR is 30-\oint_{}^{}

the angle between VYB & IY is 30+\oint_{}^{}
