Three equal non-inductive resistances are connected in star across a balanced 400 V, 60 Hz system. A single phase wattmeter is connected on the system with its current coil in line 1 and potential coil in lines 1 and 3.This wattmeter registers 900 W. If the line 2 is accidentally open circuited, what will be the wattmeter reading under this condition?
