The wattmeter method is used to measure power in a three-phase load. The wattmeter readings are 400W and -35W. Find the reactive power.(a) 751.44(b) 752.44(c) 753.44(d) 754.44This question was addressed to me by my college professor while I was bunking the class.This intriguing question originated from Power Measurement in Three-Phase Circuits topic in portion Polyphase Circuits of Network Theory

Answer»

Correct option is (c) 753.44

For EXPLANATION I WOULD say: Reactive power = √3VLILsinØ. We know that WR – WY = 400-(-35)) = 435 = VLILsinØ. Reactive power = √3 X 435 = 753.44 VAR.
