Textbook Question
Chapter 2, Problem 3PA
You are an electrician installing the wiring in a new home. The homeowner desires that a ceiling fan with light kits be installed in five different rooms. Each fan contains a light kit that can accommodate four 60-watt lamps. Each fan motor draws a current of 1.8 amperes when operated on high speed. It is assumed that each fan can operate more than three hours at a time and therefore must be considered a continuous-duty device. The fans are to be connected to a 15-ampere circuit. Because the devices are continuous-duty, the circuit current must be limited to 80% of the continuous connected load. How many fans can be connected to a single 15-ampere circuit? How many circuits will be required to supply power to all five fans?

leaving a freevway. Current from the opposite side must travel further, weakening the potential on that side. This creates a potent
the motor in that direction, causing the motor to spin.
O Only the side where the switch is closed forms a cormplete circuit, so the motor must spin in that direction.
