Introduction
• Power may be defined as the rate at which energy is transformed oe
made available
• In almost all cases the power in a d.c. circuit is best measured by
separately measuring quantities, V and I and by computing P=VI
• In case of a.c. circuits the instantaneous power varies continuously
as the current and voltage go through a cycle of values
• The fact that the power factor is involved in the expression for the
power means that a wattmeter must be used instead of merely an
ammeter and voltmeter.
Wattmeter
• A wattmeter is essentially an inherent combination of an ammeter
and a voltmeter and, therefore , consists of two coils known as
current coil and pressure coil.
• Wattmeter connection:

the current coil as possible

•
Error due to power loss in pressure coil or current coil
There are two method of connecting wattmeters in the circuit for
measurement of power, as shown in figure below (a) and (b).

cause serious errors in the value of power, (ii) Supply voltage higher than
normal voltage is required

The disadvantages of measurement of power by 3 voltmeters are overcome
in this method
Measurement of power in conjuction with instrument
transformers
• This method is used when the currents and voltages of the circuits
to be measured are high
• Figure below shows a measurement of power with wattmeter in
conjunction with instrument transformers in single phase A.C.
