a. If two wattmeters are used to measure total power in a three-phase three-wire system does each meter measure single-phase power? Explain. b. What is the significance of a negative indication on a wattmeter? c. Would only one wattmeter be needed to measure the total three-phase power on a balanced three-phase four-wire system? Explain.
