higher frequency the inductive or capacitive reactance will shunt the resistance. The result is a f2

capacitive reactance is greater than or equal to lamp-board resistance. If voltmeter V m reads above the
line voltage then voltage sequence is ab-bc-ca and if voltmeter reads below the line voltage then the
phase sequence is ab-ca-bc.
