Chapter 28, Problem 15R

The utility company has provided a letter to the contractor stating that the available fault current at the line side of the main service-entrance equipment in a residence is 17,000 amperes RMS symmetrical, line to line. In the space following each statement, write in “Meets Code” or “Violation” of 110.9 and 110.10 of the Code.

a. Main breaker has a 10,000-ampere interrupting rating; branch breakers have a 10,000-ampere interrupting rating. _______
b. Main current-limiting fuse has a 200,000-ampere interrupting rating; branch breakers have a 10,000-ampere interrupting rating. The panel is marked “Series-Rated.” _______
c. Main breaker has a 22,000-ampere interrupting rating; branch breakers have a 10,000-ampere interrupting rating. The panel is marked “Series-Connected.” _______

The circuit in Figure B1a is a common analogue circuit block. Explain why you would need such a circuit. Draw another circuit in which you use the current flowing in this loop to bias a common source amplifier. This circuit is not ideal for standard CMOS technologies due to threshold shift. Why?
