D. induction, current and voltage
233. Two-wattmeter method is employed to measure power in a 3-phase balanced system with the current coils connected in the A and C lines. The phase sequence is ABC. If the wattmeter with its current coil in A-phase line reads zero, then the power factor of the 3-phase load will be
A. zero lagging
B. zero leading
C. 0.5 lagging
D. 0.5 leading
234. The shunt type ohmeter is NOT suitale for high resistance measurements because
