The wattmeter method is used to measure power in a three-phase load. The wattmeter readings are 400W and -35W. Find the power factor.(a) 0.43(b) 0.53(c) 0.63(d) 0.73This question was addressed to me at a job interview.I'd like to ask this question from Power Measurement in Three-Phase Circuits topic in division Polyphase Circuits of Network Theory

Answer»

Correct OPTION is (a) 0.43

To EXPLAIN: We know tanØ = √3((WR – WY)/(WR + WY)) => tanØ = √3 (400-(-35))/(400+(-35))=2.064 => Ø = 64.15⁰. POWER FACTOR = 0.43.
