A shutdown nuclear power plant is operating normally when an electrical fault causes a sustained 20 percent voltage reduction on all phases of the onsite three-phase AC electrical distribution system.
Assume that all previously-operating three-phase AC induction motors continue operating, and the mechanical load on each motor remains the same.
As a result of the voltage reduction, the operating three-phase AC induction motors will draw __________ current; and will experience __________ stator temperatures.
A. more; higher
B. more; lower
C. less; higher
D. less; lower
