What is the definition of voltmeter-ammeter method?
Power= Volts X Amps. E.G. An electric heater element running on a 240V power supply, drawing 10 Amps. 240V X 10A = 2400 Watts, or 2.4 kW.
The question should have been " want to measure power by 3 watt meter method"
The answer is Yes it is standard method to measure the power
A voltmeter is a measuring instrument that is used in the measurement of the electric potential in volts.
for measurement of potential between two points.It is connected in parellal with the two points.
In a non-reactive ckt, a simple measurement with an AC voltmeter is all that is needed. In a reactive ckt, you must first address power factor, which can be metered also, and combined with the apparent voltage as above to calculate true rms.
voltmeter
power i.e current and voltage or ammeter and voltmeter
single phase power measure by three ammeter method
A voltmeter is a measuring instrument that is used in the measurement of the electric potential in volts.
first we connect the 3 volt meter in three loads then we measure the voltage and find the resistance of the loads then put the formula p=v/r so in this method we get the power by using 3 volt meter ....(prashant)

A method of making a rough measurement is: Estimation Answered by :PopTy13
If the voltage is completely unknown, a voltmeter should be set to the maximum range first, then stepped down to an accurate level.
the special purpose digital voltmeter are devloped for measurement of temperatur. They are called as the digital thermometer .
The disadvantage of using a voltmeter and ammeter on circuit measurements is that internal burden in both these instruments can affect circuit operation so much as to make a measurement useless.
When a technician uses a voltmeter he or she can measure the power going through a circuit. It can test the safety and reliability of a an appliance also.Another AnswerA voltmeter is used to measure the potential difference, or voltage, between conductors. To measure power (as mentioned in the original answer) you need a wattmeter, not a voltmeter.
we can measure the resistance of the motor by using voltmeter ammeter method of by directly using a multimeter across the armature terminals of the motor in voltmeter ammeter method we should use a less value of dc voltage to find the resistance
The one wattmeter method will only measure the power of the phase to which it is connected. So, by reconnecting it to measure each phase separately, you can measure the power in each phase in turn, and add them up to give you the total power.
