6.5 PROCEDURE:
1. Connect the Voltmeter, Ammeter and Watimeter'sto thsnload through 30Autotransformer as
shown fig andiset up the Autotransfornerto Zerò poaition,
2. Switch on thà 3¢ A.C. supply nd adjusttherautotránstoner tilla surtablévoltage.
Note down the eadings of wafmter's, voltmeter& aimeter
3. Vary the voltage by Autotransformer, andnote down he various feadings
4. Now after the'observation switchoff and disconnect all the Equipment or remmove the
Lead wire.
