This document describes how to measure the power input to a three phase balanced load using the two wattmeter method. The current coils of two wattmeters are connected to two lines (R and Y) while the voltage coils are connected between their current coil terminals and the third line (B). The algebraic sum of the two wattmeter readings gives the total power dissipated in the three phase circuit. For a balanced load, the total power is equal to the square root of 3 times the product of one phase current and line voltage multiplied by the power factor.

TWO WATTMETER METHOD
AIM: To measure power input to a three phase balanced load by two
wattmeter method.
APPARATUS: 1. Three phase lamp bank 2. A.C. voltmeter-(0-600V) 3. A.C. Ammeter (0-10A)-3-Nos 4. Wattmeter (10A,600 V) -2 Nos
THEORY: The power input to a three phase star or delta connected
balanced or unbalanced load can be measured with two wattmeter method. In this method the current coils of the two wattmeters are connected in any two lines while voltage coil of each wattmeter is connected between its own current coil terminal and a line without a current coil. Here the current coils are inserted in the lines R and Y ,then the pressure coils are connected between R-B for one wattmeter and Y-B for other wattmeter as shown in circuit diagram. The connections are same for star or delta connected load. When two wattmeters are connected in this way, the algebraic sum of two wattmeter readings gives the total power dissipated in the three phase circuit.
If W1 and W2 are the two wattmeter readings then
total power is Proof- Consider R.M.S. values of currents and voltages. For balanced load , IR = IY = IB = Iph; VR= VY=VB= Vph; VRB = VYB=VL. Now W1= IR × VRB ×cos (IR^ VRB) W2= IY × VYB ×cos (IY^ VYB) To find angle between (IR and VRB) and(IY and VYB) see the phasor diagram IR^ VRB = 30 - ф IY^ VYB = 30 + ф W1= IR × VRB ×cos(30 - ф) and W2= IY × VYB ×cos (30 + ф) W1= IL × VL ×cos(30 - ф) and W2= IL× Vl ×cos (30 + ф) W1+ W2= IL × VL[ cos(30 - ф)+ cos (30 + ф)] = IL × VL[cos(30)cos( ф)+sin (30)sin( ф)+ cos(30)cos( ф)-sin (30)sin(ф)] =2 IL × VL[cos(30)cos( ф)] = 2 IL × VL[√3/2 cos( ф)] W1+ W2=√3 IL × VL cos ( ф)=Total power

OPEN CIRCUIT AND SHORT CIRCUIT TEST ON 1 - PHASE TRANSFORMER O
AIM: To determine efficiency and regulation of a transformer from
equivalent circuit parameters determined by conducting open circuit and short circuit test on transformer. APPARATUS:
1. Single phase transformer -1 KVA ,115/230 V
2. A.C ammeter –(0-2.5A), (0,5A)
3. A.C.voltmeter (0-150V)
4. Wattmeter (5A,150V)
THEORY: In this method , the actual load is not used on transformer. The equivalent circuit parameters of a transformer are determined by conducting 1. Open circuit test (O.C.test)- The transformer primary is connected to
a.c supply through ammeter, wattmeter and dimmerstat.The secondary
of transformer is kept open. Usually L.V.side is used as primary and H.V. side is used as secondary to conduct O.C.test.With the help of dimmerstat, rated voltage is given to primary. The wattmeter measures input power. The ammeter measures input current. The voltmeter gives the value of rated primary voltage applied at rated frequency. A voltmeter is connected across secondary to measure secondary voltage which is V2=E2. when primary is supplied with rated voltage. As voltmeter resistance is very high, though voltmeter is connected, secondary is considered as open circuited. Therefore I2=0. So secondary copper losses are zero. And primary current I1= I0 (No load current) .This current is only 2 to 4 % of its full load value, hence copper losses on primary are also very low. Thus the total copper losses in O.C. test are negligibly small. Against this the input voltage is rated at rated frequency hence flux density is maximum. Hence there are iorn losses. As output power is zero and copper losses are very small, the total input power is used to supply iron losses. This power is measured by wattmeter W0. Hence the wattmeter on O.C test gives iron losses which remain constant for all the loads. 2. Short circuit test (S.C.Test)- In this test, primary is connected to a.c.
supply through dimmerstat,ammeter,voltmeter as shown in circuit
diagram. The secondary is short circuited with the help of thick copper wire. Generally H.V.side is connected to supply and L.V.side is shorted. As secondary is shorted ,its resistance is very small and on rated voltage it may be draw very large current . Such large current can cause overheating and burning of the transformer. To limit this S.C. current ,primary is supplied with low voltage, which is just enough to cause rated current to flow through primary which can be observed on an ammeter. The low voltage can be adjusted with the help of dimmerstat. The currents flowing through the windings are rated currents hence the total copper loss is full load copper loss. Now the voltage applied is low which is fraction of rated voltage. The iron losses are function of applied voltage. So they are very small. Hence the wattmeter reading gives full load copper losses.
