What is the total current draw when all six fluorescent luminaires are turned on?

Find the total current drawn when all the six fluorescent luminaires are turned on.
Answer to Problem 1R
The total current
Explanation of Solution
Discussion:
The recreation room consists of six lay in fluorescent luminaires. One fluorescent luminaire consists of four
Generally, the power factor of fluorescent luminaire lies between
Substitute
The current drawn by the six fluorescent luminaires is calculated as follows:
Substitute
One fluorescent luminaire is controlled by the 3-way switch. It also controls the stairway luminaire of
When the staircase luminaire is turned on, the value of
Substitute
Conclusion:
Thus, the total current

Wire the motor to operate in forward and reverse at 115 VAC.arrow_forwardB:A 20 MVA transformer which may be called upon to operate at 30% overload, feeds 11 KV busbars through a circuit breaker: other circuit breakers supply outgoing feeders. The transformer circuit breaker is equipped with 1000/5 A CTS and the feeder circuit breakers with 400/5 A CTS and all sets of CTs feed induction type over current relays. The relays on the feeder circuits breakers have a 125% plug setting, and 0.3 time setting. If 3 ph fault current of 5000 A flows from the transformer to one of the feeders, find the operating time of the feeder relay, the minimum plug setting of the transformer relay and its time setting assuming a discrimination time margin of 0.5 sec.
