How wattmeter is connected in circuit?
A wattmeter has two coils: a current coil and a voltage coil. The current coil is connected in series with the load, while the voltage coil is connected in parallel with the load (just in the same way an ammeter and a voltmeter are connected). The wattmeter's polarity markings must be observed while making these connections -if the wattmeter reads 'downscale' (backwards), then the connection to either one (but not both) of the coils must be reversed.
How do you connect energy meter in circuit?
pressure coil or voltage coil across the supply and the current coil in series.
Which of the coil of the wattmeter has high resistance?
The voltage (or 'potential') coil has the higher resistance, because it is connected in parallel with the load.
What effect does the power factor obtained from the reactive loads have on the wattmeter reading being negative?
A wattmeter measures the supply voltage and the in-phase component of the load current and, therefore, its reading is unaffected by the power factor of the load. In other words, it will always read true power regardless of power factor.If it is reading backwards, it is because the polarity markings have been ignored and either the voltage coil or the current coil have been connected the wrong way around.
What is current coil and voltage coil?
The current coil is one through which the current of source can pass. This coil is connected in series. The voltage coil is connected parallel to the applied voltage. In the current coil the quantity of current flowing is proportional to the current flowing in load while in the voltage coil, current flowing is proportional to applied supply voltage. The voltage coil current is independent of current flow in load. For a complete understanding, please refer to a watt meter diagram.
What is function of pressure coil in a watt meter?
A 'pressure coil' is an archaic term for a 'voltage coil' (UK terminology) or 'potential coil' (US terminology), as opposed to the 'current coil' in a wattmeter. This coil is connected in parallel with the supply, while the current coil is connected in series with the load.
Why wattmeter measure the active power?
The wattmeter contains two coils one is current coil and other is pressure coil.the current coil is connected in series with the line and pressure coil is connected across the supply.so, the disc links with the flux which is the resultant of these two.(resultant means consider the vector resultant), which include phase angle also.the active power P=VI(cosine of angle between v & I).there fore the wattmeter measures the active power.CommentThere is no 'disc' in a wattmeter. Furthermore, the current coil doesn't measure the load current, it measures the in-phase component of the load current.
Can you connect pressure coil instead of current coil in watt meter to measure power?
You have to connect both coils to measure power: the current coil in series with the load, and the voltage ('pressure') coil in parallel with the supply. And you have to observe the wattmeter's polarity markings if you don't want it to read downscale (backwards)!
In watt meter why pressure coil has more turn than current coil?
In an analog induction type wattmeter the pressure coil is connected accross the voltage source.It is intentionally made to have a larger number of turns than the current coil so that it's impedence increases and it draws minimum current from the circuit; causing lesser error in the reading.

How the current and pressure coils of the wattmeer are connected in circuit to measure the power drawn by load?
The current coil is connected in series with the load. The voltage coil (the term, 'pressure coil' is rather archaic!) is connected in parallel with the load. The wattmeter's polarity markings must be taken into account, or the meter will read downscale (backwards).
What is the difference between current coil and voltage coil?
These terms apply to the coils inside a wattmeter. 'Pressure coil' is an archaic term for 'voltage coil', which is connected in parallel with the supply, while the 'current coil' is connected in series with the load.
How can you obtain three time voltage across potential coil of wattmeter?
The voltage applied to the voltage coil of a wattmeter must not exceed the voltage rating of that coil.
How would you measure power factor of the balanced three phase load by two wattmeter method?
Yes. The wattmeter's current coil will have to be connected into one of the line conductors, and its voltage coil between that same line conductor and the neutral point of the load. Connected this way, the wattmeter's voltage coil is measuring one of the three phase voltages (line-to-neutral voltage) while its current coil is measuring the corresponding phase current (for a 4-wire system, the phase current = line current). The power factor (cosine of the phase angle) is accounted for automatically within the wattmeter. So the wattmeter will measure the true power (in watts) of one phase. The total power, therefore, will be 3x the wattmeter reading -providing, of course, that the load is balanced (i.e. each phase is identical). WebRep currentVote noRating noWeight
How is the power factor of an Electrodynamometer type wattmeter improved?
Power Factor of an electrodynamometer can be improved by connecting a large resistor in series with the current coil.
Why the current coil of ct having less no of turn than pressure coil?
A CT doesn't have a 'pressure coil'! Reword your question.
Can a wattmeter that has a current through its current coil and a potential across its voltage indicate zero?
A: Only if the current is very small and the scaling very large. Like trying to measure micro amps on amp meter
