Two-wattmeter method is used to measure the power taken by a 3-phase induction motor on no load. The wattmeter readings are 375 W and –50 W. Calculate the reactive power taken by the load.
Let, E→EMF in volt φ→Flux in weber A→Parallel path (for wave winding = 2) Z→No. of armature conductors N→speed in rpm P = Number of poles E = PφNZ/(60A) E = 8*0.020*625/(60*2) E = 500 V
