Question
he balanced three-phase load shown in Fig. P11.49 is fed from a balanced, positive-sequence, threephase Y-connected source. The impedance of the line connecting the source to the load is negligible. The line-to-neutral voltage of the source is 7200 V. a) Find the reading of the wattmeter in watts. b) Explain how you would connect a second wattmeter in the circuit so that the two wattmeters would measure the total power. c) Calculate the reading of the second wattmeter. d) Verify that the sum of the two wattmeter readings equals the total average power delivered to the load.
Solution
The first step in solving 11 problem number 49 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: he balanced three-phase load shown in Fig. P11.49 is fed from a balanced, positive-sequence, threephase Y-connected source. The impedance of the line connecting the source to the load is negligible. The line-to-neutral voltage of the source is 7200 V. a) Find the reading of the wattmeter in watts. b) Explain how you would connect a second wattmeter in the circuit so that the two wattmeters would measure the total power. c) Calculate the reading of the second wattmeter. d) Verify that the sum of the two wattmeter readings equals the total average power delivered to the load.
From the textbook chapter Balanced Three-Phase Circuits you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
