The wattmeter method is used to measure power in a three-phase load. The wattmeter readings are 400W and -35W. Find the reactive power.

The wattmeter method is used to measure power in a three-phase load. The wattmeter readings are 400W and -35W. Find the reactive power. Correct Answer 753.44

Reactive power = √3VLILsinØ. We know that WR – WY = 400-(-35)) = 435 = VLILsinØ. Reactive power = √3 x 435 = 753.44 VAR.
