10 The input voltage, current and power to a single-phase load are measured by means of a voltmeter, ammeter and wattmeter respectively, each of these instruments being single-range type. They are connected to the lines by means of a current transformer of ratio 100:5 and a voltage transformer of ratio 50:1.
