. A 3-ph, 3-wire balanced load with a lagging power factor is supplied at 400 V between lines. A single-phase wattmeter when connected with its current coil in the A-line and potential coil between A and B lines gives a reading of 6 kW. When the same terminal of the voltage coil are switched over to B- and C- lines, the current coil connections remaining the same, the reading of the wattmeter remains unchanged. Calculate the line current and the pf of the load.

7. A 3-ph, 3-wire balanced load with a lagging power factor is supplied at 400 V
between lines. A single-phase wattmeter when connected with its current coil
in the A-line and potential coil between A and B lines gives a reading of 6 kW.
When the same terminal of the voltage coil are switched over to B- and C- lines,
the current coil connections remaining the same, the reading of the wattmeter
remains unchanged. Calculate the line current and the pf of the load.
