Answer to Problem 1R

Yes, the outlets in a circuit can be arranged in different groupings to obtain the same result.

Explanation of Solution

Discussion:

The general purpose receptacles and the lighting outlets can be supplied with more than one circuit. If any problem occurs in one circuit, other circuit can manage the power supply to the outlets in the specified room.

Another way is to use the general purpose receptacles on one circuit and the lighting outlets on another branch circuit. Branch circuit runs first to the switch and then to the controlled lighting outlets. This running process is maintained and followed in order to keep the outlet box at the lighting outlets or the wiring compartment on recessed cans less crowded. The switch location includes grounded circuit conductor using which the switching devices are easily installed whenever the switch requires the connection of grounded circuit conductor.

Conclusion:

Thus, the outlets in a circuit can be arranged in different groupings to obtain the same result.

In a railway system with a power source of 600 VDC, I need to achieve a load output of 120 VDC for railway lights. I found a DC-DC converter capable of stepping down 600 VDC to 125 VDC. To obtain 120 VDC from this converter, we can use a voltage divider with the following equation:​ [R2/(R2+R1)]=120/125=0.96=0.96However, using resistors to achieve the desired output voltage raises some concerns. Is it advisable to use railway-grade resistors for this application? I found some resistors in the range of 1-10k ohms, but I am unsure how they should be connected in the circuit with the lights (the load to be used). I would greatly appreciate any suggestions or schematic diagrams to clarify the best approach for connecting the resistors in this setup.
