How does the National Electrical Code specify that the high leg of a four-wire delta connection be marked?

Expert Solution & Answer
Check Mark
To determine

The method specified by the National Electrical Code for the marking of the high leg of a four-wire delta connection.

Explanation of Solution

High delta leg is a type of electrical service connection which is also termed as wild leg, stinger leg, orange leg or red leg delta.

Whenever there is a need of power supply of both three phases and single phase power from a three phase transformer, high delta leg comes into use. The high delta leg voltage is 1.732 times the single phase, center tapped voltage.

The specification for the marking of the high delta leg for a four wire delta connection is provided by National Electrical Code. As per this specification, the high delta leg must be connected to an orange wire or tagged at any point where a connection is made.

Thus, the National Electrical Code specifies that the high leg of a four-wire delta connection be marked by connecting it to an orange wire or by tagging it any point where a connection is made.

Question 1. A tube rotates in the horizontal xy plane with a constant angular velocity w about the z-axis. A particle of mass m is released from a radial distance R when the tube is in the position shown. This problem is based on problem 3.2 in the text. y ω R m 2R Figure 1 X a) Draw a free body diagram of the particle if the tube is frictionless. b) Draw a free body diagram of the particle if the coefficient of friction between the sides of the tube and the particle is μs = flk = fl. c) For the case where the tube is frictionless, what is the radial speed at which the particle leaves the tube? d) For the case where there is friction, derive a differential equation that would allow you to solve for the radius of the particle as a function of time. I'm only looking for the differential equation. DO NOT solve it. e) If there is no friction, what is the angle of the tube when the particle exits? • Hint: You may need to solve a differential equation for the last part. The "potentially…
