Textbook Question
Chapter 8, Problem 4PA
The hot water for the heating system for a small factory is supplied by a single boiler. The bolier is locatd in a small building separate form the factory. The power supplied to the bioler is 240-volt single-phase without a netural conductor. At the present time, the small building housing the bioler has no inside lighting. The business owner desires that four 100-watt lamps be installed inside the building. All lamps are to be connected to a single switch. The lamps are to be connected to the present 240-volt sercvice inside the building. How would you accomplish this task? Explain your answer.
