Question #1 You arrived to the theater and find the following equipment set for the performance of this evening. The circuit of the existing system is the following: Imax = 30 Amp Breaker Alpha Dimmer L1 L2 L3 Vin = 120 VAC The nominal values of the incandescent lamps connected to the dimmer are: L1 (120 V, 2400 W), L2 (120 V 1200 W) and L3 (120 V 1200 W). The dimmer provides an Output Voltage Vout = Vin x sin(alpha/2) meaning when alpha is 0° then Vout is 0 Volt and when alpha is 180° then Vout = Vin = 120 Volts.

Transcribed Image Text:1.3)You need to remove lamps to ensure that if you use the dimmer at 100% the breaker will not open
the circuit, but also to ensure that the stage receives the maximum of light. Decide which lamp/s
you will remove and justify it with your calculations

Transcribed Image Text:Question #1
You arrived to the theater and find the following equipment set for the performance of this evening. The
circuit of the existing system is the following:
Imax = 30 Amp
Breaker
Alpha
Dimmer
L1
L2
L3
Vin = 120 VAC
The nominal values of the incandescent lamps connected to the dimmer are: L1 (120 V, 2400 W), L2 (120
V 1200 W) and L3 (120 V 1200 W).
The dimmer provides an Output Voltage
Vout = Vin x sin(alpha/2)
meaning when alpha is 0° then Vout is 0 Volt and when alpha is 180° then Vout = Vin
= 120 Volts.
