2(a) Two ammeters X and Y have resistances of 1.2Ω and 1.5Ω respectively and they give full scale deflection with 150 mA and 250 mA respectively. The ranges have beeen extended by connecting shunts so as to give full scale deflection wih 15A. The ammeters along with shunts are connected in parallel and then placed in a circuit in which the total current flowing is 15 A. Calculate the current in amperes indicated by ammeter X.

Solve any one question fromQ3(a,b) and Q.4(a,b)
3(a) When two wattmeters method is used for measurement of power in a three phase balanced circuit, comment upon the readings of the two wattmeters under following conditions.
i) When the power factor is unity.
ii) When the power factor is zero.
iii)When the power factor is 0.5 lagging.

3(b) A three phase, two element energy meter has a constant of 0.2 revolutions of disc per kwh. The meter is being used with a potential transformer of ration 22kV/220 V, and a current is 10 A, time to complete 10 revolutions is 30 seconds on unity power factor, determine the error expressed as a percentage of the correct reading.

4(a) A wattmeter reads 5.54 kW when it's current coil is connected in the red phase and it's voltage coilis connected between red phase and neutral of a symmetrical three phase system supplying a balanced load of 30 A at 400 V. What will be the reading of the instrument if the connection of current coil remains unchanged and voltage coil is connected between yellow and blue phases? The phase sequence is RYB.
