Chapter 11, Problem 1R
  1. How many circuit wires enter the entry ceiling box?
  2. How many equipment grounding conductors enter the entry ceiling box?

a.

Expert Solution
Check Mark
To determine

State the number of circuit wires that go through the entry ceiling box.

Answer to Problem 1R

Sixteen wires are in the entry ceiling box.

Explanation of Solution

Discussion:

Refer Circuit A15 in the textbook, which is given in FIGURE 11-1 that provides a cable layout of front entry, porch, and post light.

From FIGURE 11-1, it is observed that 6 wires are there from S3. In 6 wires, four wires each have three conductors, and two wires have two conductors. Therefore, the total numbers of conductors are calculated as follows:

Conductors=(4×3conductors)+(2×2conductors)=16conductors

Conclusion:

Thus, the sixteen circuit wires are in the entry ceiling box.

b.

Expert Solution
Check Mark
To determine

State how many equipment grounding conductors (EGCs) enter into the entry ceiling box.

Answer to Problem 1R

One EGC goes into the entry ceiling box.

Explanation of Solution

Discussion:

Equipment grounding conductors provide the ground fault current path. In FIGURE 11-1, only one conductor is connected to the ground.

Conclusion:

Thus, one EGC goes into the entry ceiling box.

A 4-cell reuse cellular system is being rolled out into an operation area and you are the engineer taking charge of this project. The subscriber density for the operation area is 600 people per km2. The average traffic load generated per subscriber is 0.2 Er. You are required to deploy 8 clusters of cells in the operation area and provide a Grade of Service of 0.5% to the subscribers using the blocked calls cleared model. You found out that the total number of trunk channels available to the system is 140. Assuming that fixed channel assignment is used, compute: a) The traffic load that can be offered to the operation area. b) The size of the operation area (in km2) that can be supported by the system. c) The proposed cell area and radius, based on the operation area determined in part (b).   Having successfully implemented the first system above, you are now tasked to implement another system. The requirement is that, this second system must have a cluster size of 7 and provides a…
