Need help with 3.1-3.5 all info needed should be in the picture
Transcribed Image Text:Question #3
You have to your disposal the following lamps
4 lamps L1: L1a, L1b, L1c, L1d (60 V, 300 Watts), 2 lamps L2: L2a, L2b (120 V, 1200 Watts), 2 lamps L3:
L3a, L3b (120 V, 600 Watts) and 6 lamps L4: L4a, L4b, L4c, L4d, L4e, L4f (120 V, 120 Watts)
The lamps have being especially designed to work following the Ohm law, therefore their resistance will
be constant (will not change with the temperature)
3.1) Calculate the resistance of each lamps
You have a dimmer with three output channels (Channel #1, Channel #2 and Channel #3) which allows
the voltage to change from OV to 120V, with a maximum current of 16 amp. each. You need to connect
the lamps at your disposal, in the way that the three channels will work at their maximum load (16
amp.) without the possibility to go over the maximum current.
3.2) Is it possible to use all the lamps you have at your disposal? Please answer Yes or No with your
justification.
3.3) Select the lamps and draw the circuits of the lamps connected to each one of the output channels
that will take maximum of 16 amp from each output when the output produces 120 V
3.4) Calculate the Power and the Current for each channel when the dimmer is providing 100% of the
output (120 V) in each channel. Justify your answers with the calculations – No justification – No Points
3.5) The setup of the dimmer for the scene you want to light, required that with the lamps you chose for
each output channel, Voltage Channel #1 will be 50% ( ½ ), Voltage Channel #2 will be at 66.6% (2/3)
and Voltage Channel #3 will be at 83.3% (5/6). Calculate the Voltage, Current and Power for each
channel, the total power and current needed for the dimmer to work. The dimmer is connected to a
power source of 120V, 10 KWatts
