Question
Chapter 29, Problem 1R
To determine
State what minimum-size service is needed for a single family dwelling and also provide the NEC Code that states it.
Expert Solution & Answer

Answer to Problem 1R
The required minimum-size main service is 100 amperes and the Code is NEC 230.79(C).
Explanation of Solution
Discussion:
The National Electrical Code committee develops NEC – the standard electrical code. The main objective for the origin of the code is to protect and safeguard the person and elements from electrical hazards.
For a one family dwelling, according to National Electric Code NEC 230.79(C), the required minimum-size service is 100 amperes.
Conclusion:
Thus, the required minimum-size main service is 100 amperes and the Code is NEC 230.79(C).

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…arrow_forward
