Bee 3 Phase

Module 3 covers power measurement in three-phase circuits, including numerical problems related to calculating line and phase currents, active, reactive, and apparent power. It provides example problems with solutions, such as calculating power readings from wattmeters in balanced circuits. The document includes specific scenarios for power factor calculations based on wattmeter readings.

Ans: Iph = 11.36A, Q = 7.7436KVAR, S = 8.658 KVA, W1 = 4.1717 KW, W2 = -0.299 KW
1. Two wattmeters connected to measure the input to balanced three phase circuit indicates 1250W and
20 W, respectively. Find the total power supplied, and the power factor of the circuit.
