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 transformer of ratio 100/5 A. If the line voltage is 220 V, 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's connected in the red phase and it's voltage coil is connected between red phase and neutral of a symmetrical three phase system supplying a balanced load of 30A 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.
