What effect does the power factor obtained from the reactive loads have on the wattmeter reading being negative?
A wattmeter measures the supply voltage and the in-phase component of the load current and, therefore, its reading is unaffected by the power factor of the load. In other words, it will always read true power regardless of power factor.If it is reading backwards, it is because the polarity markings have been ignored and either the voltage coil or the current coil have been connected the wrong way around.
What does reading of wattmeter indicate in case of open circuit test of transformer?
In case of open circuit test of transformers we measure iron losses and hence the power lost here is being measured by the wattmeter.
What if you have a negative kvar reading?
A negative KVAR reading can be eliminated by adding an inductor to the circuit.
Why does an AC wattmeter require polarity marking?
To ensure that the relative directions of the current passing through the current and voltage coils result in the meter reading 'upscale'.
What is effect of power factor on the readings of wattmeter?
If you are asking whether power-factor improvement has any effect on a wattmeter reading, then the answer is no, it doesn't. Improving the power factor of a load has absolutely no effect on the power of the load, but it can act to reduce the value of the load current.

What Will happen to the watt meter reading if any two terminals get interchange d?
If any two terminals of a wattmeter are interchanged, the reading will typically show the same magnitude but with the opposite sign. This is because the wattmeter measures power based on the product of voltage and current, and interchanging the terminals reverses the phase relationship. Therefore, instead of indicating positive power flow, it will indicate negative power flow, which signifies power being fed back into the source.
What happens to the meter reading when you invert the direction of the arrow on the current transformer of power meter?
The wattmeter will read downscale (backwards).
What if you have a negative kvar reading?
A negative KVAR reading can be eliminated by adding an inductor to the circuit.
How would you measure power using three watt meter and one watt meter for balanced and unbalanced loads?
The 'one wattmeter method' can only be used for balanced, wye-connected, loads where the load's neutral point is accessible. The wattmeter's current coil is inserted into any line conductor, and the voltage coil is connected between the same line and the neutral point. The wattmeter reading indicates the power of one phase, so the total power is three times the wattmeter reading.To measure the total power of a balanced or unbalanced wye- or delta-connected load, it is only necessary to use twowattmeters -this is called the 'two wattmeter method'. In this case, the current coils of each wattmeter are inserted into any two line conductors, and the voltage coils are connected between the two line conductors and the third line conductor. The sum of the two wattmeter readings will indicate the total power of the load.
Why does an AC wattmeter require polarity marking?

What do reading disorders cause?
This condition lowers accuracy and comprehension in reading
Can reading something negative cause you to be negative?
Yes, it is possible. Hanging out with friends or people that have very negative attitudes can also cause you to be negative.
