Question
Chapter 7, Problem 1RQ
To determine
The definition of service entrance.
Expert Solution & Answer
Explanation of Solution
The service entrance is one of the most crucial components of a residential electrical system. The service entrance gives the home's electrical system access to the electric utility company's power supply.
The service conductors at an underground service entrance run from the service main disconnect terminals to the point where the underground utility wire is connected.
Several of the requirements for the installation of service entrances are covered by Article 230 of the NEC®. The specifications for grounding a residential service entrance are covered by Article 250 of the NEC®.
The local electric utility must be approached after the kind of service entrance being placed is selected, and the service type, location, and installation must all be planned with them.
Conclusion:
The service entrance gives the home's electrical system access to the electric utility company's power supply.

Vehicles begin to arrive at an amusement park
entrance at 8:00 A.M. at a rate of 1000veh/h. Some of
these vehicles have electronic identifiers that allow
them to enter the park immediately, beginning at 8:00
A.M., without stopping (they are billed remotely). All
vehicles without such identifiers stop at a single
processing booth, but they wait in line until it opens at
8:10 A.M. Once open, the operator processes vehicles
at μ(t) = 8 + 0.5t [where μ(t) is in vehicles per minute
and t is in minutes after 8:10 A.M.]. An observer notes
that at 8:25 there are exactly 20 vehicles in the queue.
What percent of arriving vehicles have electronic
identifiers and what is the total delay (from the 8:00
A.M. until the queue clears) for those vehicles without
the electronic identifiers (assume D/D/1 queuing)?
