With the aid of a circuit diagram, show that two wattmeters can be connected to read the total power in a three-phase, three-wire system. Two wattmeters connected to read the total power in a three-phase system supplying a balanced load read 10.5 kW and −2.5 kW respectively. Calculate the total active power. Drawing suitable phasor diagrams, explain the significance of: (a) equal wattmeter readings; (b) a zero reading on one wattmeter.
