The two-wattmeter method can be used to measure power in a three-phase system. Each current coil is connected in series with one of the live phase wires, while the voltage coils are connected between those and the third live wire.

What is a meter socket?

The electrical power that you use from the utility company has to be metered. This is done with a plug in watt meter. The meter socket is what holds the electrical watt meter. It is this meter that the meter reader reads to give you your monthly billing for the electricity that you used.

Is 1 kw equals 5 watt per square meter?

Question doesn't make sense. But if you have something that use or generate 5W per square meter, then you get 1kW if you have 200 square meter.


What is easier to measure volts amps or watt?

If you have the right test equipment amps are the easiest to measure. A slip over the wire amp meter is easier to use than a clamp on amp meter. The other two values have to be measured by using test leads from the test equipment.


How much solar power does a 40 watt light bulb use?

two 40 watt bulbs in 24 hours use: 2*40*24 watt hours in practical uses, kilowatt hours are used divide by 1000 to change the units thus two 40 watt bulbs in 24 hours use 1.92 kilowatt hours


Is the amount of electricity used in your home measured in amps or kilowatt hours?

Why do you use two phase watt meter?

You may be thinking of the 'two-wattmeter method' for measuring three-phase power?As a rule, it's always possible to use one less wattmeter than the number of conductors supplying a three-phase load to measure the power of that load. So, for a three-phase, three-wire, system, two wattmeters may be used to measure the total active power of the load -regardless of whether the load is balanced or unbalanced. The algebraic sum of the two wattmeter readings will give the total power.


Does watt meter use for ac and dc?

No, on dc the power is measured by the produce of the voltage and current so there is no need for a wattmeter, which would not work on dc anyway.


What is the three ammeter method?

I am assuming that you really want to use ammeters to measure power in a balanced 3 phase system. (hope you are not meaning 3 watt meter method) Power in Watt in a three phase system is equal to 1.73 x line voltage x line current x power factor. You need to know line voltage, power factor also in addition to current to compute the power. If the system is balanced then actually you do not need to connect ammeters in all three lines. One ammeter reading will do.
