The load current in a system is 100 A. the short-circuit current for the smallest fault is 100 A. An overcurrent capable of carrying a current of 5 A continuously is to be used. (a) Suggest a suitable C.T. ratio (b) What will be the current for the smallest fault? (c) Will the protective C.T be able to faithfully reproduce the fault current?

Most residential general lighting circuits are wired with 14-AWG copper conductors and are protected by 15-amp circuit breakers. However, there are many electricians who install 12-AWG copper conductors and protect them with 20-amp circuit breakers. How will you know which conductor size and which circuit breaker size will be used for the general lighting branch circuits in the house you are wiring?
5) The Murray Loop Test figuer shown below is used to locate ground fault in a telephone communication cable. The total resistance, R = R₁ + R₂ is measured by Wheatstone Bridge and it is equal to 60092. The conditions for Murray Loop Test are as follow: R3 = 2k2 and R4 = 1kQ2. Determine the location of the ground fault in meter and define it from which point, if the length per Ohm = 80m. Power or communication cable Short circuit fault Murray Loop Test H|H"
