Dear Friends,
We make Transformers at Jhansi. We use three wattmeter method for measuring No-Load and Load-Losses of a three phase transformer. We some time come across a situation that one of the wattmeter reads negative.
I would like to know from my more learned friends what is the reason for this?
Do we add all the three reading irrespective of the sign or should we subtract the power which is negative?
How can power in any phase be negative for a passive machine like a transformer?
Please throw some light.
Regards and thanks to all.
