Two wattmeters are connected to measuring power in a 3 phase balanced load. Determine the total power and power factor if the two wattmeters read 1000 watts each (1) both positive and (2) second reading is negative

Result

P1 =  2000 W
f1 =  1
P2 =  0 W
f2 =  0

#### Solution:

$P_{ 11 } = 1000 \ W \ \\ P_{ 21 } = 1000 \ W \ \\ \ \\ P_{ 1 } = P_{ 11 }+P_{ 21 } = 1000+1000 = 2000 = 2000 \ \text { W }$
$f_{ 1 } = \cos φ_{ 1 } \ \\ \ \\ t_{ 1 } = \sqrt{ 3 } \cdot \ \dfrac{ P_{ 11 }-P_{ 21 } }{ P_{ 11 }+P_{ 21 } } = \sqrt{ 3 } \cdot \ \dfrac{ 1000-1000 }{ 1000+1000 } = 0 \ \\ \ \\ f_{ 1 } = \cos ( \arctan(t_{ 1 })) = \cos ( \arctan(0)) = 1$
$P_{ 12 } = 1000 \ W \ \\ P_{ 22 } = -1000 \ W \ \\ \ \\ P_{ 2 } = P_{ 12 }+P_{ 22 } = 1000+(-1000) = 0 = 0 \ \text { W }$
$f_{ 2 } = \cos φ_{ 2 } \ \\ \ \\ t_{ 2 } = \sqrt{ 3 } \cdot \ \dfrac{ P_{ 12 }-P_{ 22 } }{ P_{ 12 }+P_{ 22 } } = \sqrt{ 3 } \cdot \ \dfrac{ 1000-(-1000) }{ 1000+(-1000) } = INF \ \\ \ \\ f_{ 2 } = \cos ( \arctan(t_{ 2 })) = \cos ( \arctan(INF)) = 0$
