3 phase load

Two wattmeters are connected to measure 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) the second reading is negative.

Correct answer:

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

Step-by-step explanation:

P11=1000 W P21=1000 W  P1=P11+P21=1000+1000=2000 W
f1 = cos φ1  t1=3 P11+P21P11P21=3 1000+100010001000=0  f1=cos(arctan(t1))=cos(arctan0)=1
P12=1000 W P22=1000 W  P2=P12+P22=1000+(1000)=0 W
f2 = cos φ2  t2=3 P12+P22P12P22=3 1000+(1000)1000(1000)=  f2=cos(arctan(t2))=cos(arctan())=0
