Chapter 11, Problem 1RQ
Which of the following is the largest electrical load in an air-conditioning or refrigeration system?
- a. evaporator fan motor
- b. condenser fan motor
- c. compressor
- d. relay coil
Expert Solution & Answer
To determine
The largest electrical load in an air-conditioning or refrigeration system.
Explanation of Solution
An air-conditioning or refrigeration system consists of following electrical components:
- 1. Compressor
- 2. Evaporator fan motor
- 3. Condenser fan motor
- 4. Relay coil
Among the above said components, compressor is the largest electrical load. Because the compressor requires large electricity for its operation. The compressor is a device that works on high pressures (the pressure above the atmosphere).
Thus, the correct answer is “option c. compressor”.
