A 1200-ampere service was installed, consisting of three sets of 600 kcmil THHN/THWN copper conductors per phase. The electrical contractor was careful to cut theconductors the same length. When the utility crew made up the connections at theservice heads, they cut the conductors to different lengths to make their connectionssimpler. The actual lengths of the service-entrance conductors in a given phase ended up being20 ft (6.1 m), 22 ft (6.7 m), and 24 ft (7.3 m). The maximum ampacity of a 600-kcmilTHHN/THWN copper conductor is 420 amperes using the 75°C column of Table310.16. This is more than adequate for the calculated 1200 amperes when three conductors are run in parallel. Determine how the load of 1200 amperes would divide in each of the three paralleledconductors in a phase.
Determine the conductor sizes for a feeder to a panelboard. It is a 120/240-volt,single-phase system. The OCPD has a rating of 100 amperes. The calculated load is15,600 VA. All the loads are 120 volts.
Calculate the neutral current in a 120/240-volt, single-phase system when the current inphase A is 20 amperes and the current in phase B is 40 amperes. The load is resistive.
Calculate the neutral current in a 208Y/120-volt, 3-phase, 4-wire system when thecurrent in phase A is 0, in phase B is 40, and in phase C is 60 amperes. The load isresistive

- HANDWRITTEN SOLUTION NOT USING CHATGPT PLEASEarrow_forwardDesign a full-wave rectifier power supply using a 9.52:1 transformer. Assume that the outlet is120 V rms @ 60 Hz. Further assume that the diode turn-on voltage V D(on) is 0.7 V. Pick the valueof CL such that vo has a maximum ripple of 1 V p-p . Solve for the average value of vo = Vo (notethat this may be greater than 12 V) and iD(ave) = ID.arrow_forwardLight-emitting diodes (LEDs) are diodes made with III-V compound semiconductor materials such as aluminum gallium arsenide (AlGaAs), aluminum indium gallium phosphide (AlInGaP) or indium gallium nitride (InGaN), instead of silicon. The LEDs emit light when the device is operated under forward bias. LEDs of different colors have different turn-on voltages VD(on). For example: VD(on) : Red: ~ 1.6 V Yellow: ~ 1.7 V Green: ~ 1.8 V Blue: ~ 2.8 V White: ~ 3.8 V (a) Model these five LEDs with a simplified piecewise linear model (b) A rule of thumb is that it takes about 1 mA of current to “light” an LED while ~ 10 mA is needed for it to appear bright. Use the piecewise linear model for the LEDs, for the over-voltage indicator circuit to the right, find the values of Vin which will cause D1 or D2 to light (i.e. when ID1 or ID2 exceeds 1 mA).arrow_forward
