Why is it preferred to use a wattmeter(s) to measure power
in three phase systems rather than using a combination of
other instruments e.g. voltmeters, ammeters etc?

Answer Posted / vithal k

by formula one can derive the power through Voltmeter &
Ammeter reading but its impossible to project the power
factor at the time of reading we r taking for both the meter.
