Advantages of Two Wattmeter Method

The various advantages of two wattmeter method are ,

The method is applicable for balanced as well as unbalanced loads.

Neutral point for star connected load is not necessary to connect the
wattmeters.

The delta connected load, need not be opened for connecting the
wattmeters.

Only two wattmeters are sufficient to measure total 3 phase power.

If the load is balanced not only the power but power factor also can
be determined.

Total reactive volt-amperes can be obtained using two wattmeters


readings for balanced loads.

Disadvantages of Two Wattmeter Method
