Wattmeter Reading Formula Elements

Variables
Wattmeter Reading
Wattmeter Reading is the value measured by an instrument that is used for measuring the electric power (or the supply rate of electrical energy) in watts of any given circuit.
Symbol: Wr
Measurement: PowerUnit: W
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Pressure Coil Voltage
Pressure Coil Voltage is typically proportional to the current being measured, generating a magnetic field that interacts with the current-carrying conductor for power measurement.
Symbol: Vwp
Measurement: Electric PotentialUnit: V
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Iron Loss
Iron Loss refers to the electrical power dissipated as heat in the iron core of the instrument. It occurs due to magnetic hysteresis and eddy currents induced in the core material.
Symbol: Pi
Measurement: PowerUnit: W
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Potential Difference
Potential Difference is the external work needed to bring a charge from one location to another location in an electric field.
Symbol: V
Measurement: Electric PotentialUnit: V
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
