                                  will be turned off by opening circuit breakers, as well as loads will be
                                  disconnected (Fig. 14.21).

                                  1. The voltmeter must have very high internal resistance so as to drain a negligible
                                    test current.
                                  2. See App. A for further details.
                                  3. A rheostat is an adjustable resistor, which allows variation in its resistance
                                    without breaking the electrical circuit of which it is a part.
