In 3-wattmeter measurement, 3 line voltages , , and 3 line (phase) currents
、 、
are measured.
Because the actual phase voltage cann
ot be measured for a 3-phase/3-wire line due to the lack of a neu-
tral point, the phase voltage is calculated based on the line voltages.
The 3-phase active power P is calculated as th
e sum of all the phase active power values.

In 2-wattmeter measurement, two line-to-line voltages , and two line (phase) currents ,
are mea-
sured.
The 3-phase active power P can be derived from two voltage and current values, as shown below:
(from , )
(from as the precondition of a closed circuit)
