A condominium owner complains of not getting enough hot water. The serviceman checks the voltage at the water heater and finds the voltage to be 208 volts. The serviceman checks further and finds the electrical service on the building to be a 120/208-volt, three-phase, 4-wire system. The main electrical panelboard for each condominium unit is fed with a 3-wire supply. The nameplate on the electric water heater is marked 4500 watts, 240 volts. What is the wattage output of the heating element in this water heater when connected to a 208-volt supply? _____________________

You are an electrician working in an industrial plant. The company is constructing a maintenance shop located 225 feet from the main plant electrical system. You are to install a 400-ampere three-phase wire system in the new maintenance shop. The service is supplied by the existing plant service. The voltage is 480 volts and the voltage drop is to be kept at 3% or below at full load. The conductors are to be aluminum. Determine the wire size needed for the 400-ampere service in accordance with the National Electrical Code. Assume that the conductors have type THWH insulation. (Note: As a general rule, for each 100 feet of conductor length the wire size is increased one standard size because of voltage drop.)

A one-family dwelling has six 3-kW electric wall heaters (with individual thermostats) and five room air conditioners. Two air conditioners are rated 10.5 amperes at 230 volts, and the others are rated 7.2 amperes at 115 volts. A service calculation is being performed, using the optional method . How many volt-amperes should be included (after demand factors) for the heating and air conditioning? (Assume heater kW ratings equivalent to kVA)
A certain type of control connects electric heating units to a 120-volt supply or a 240-volt supply, depending on the amount of the temperature drop in a room. These controls are supplied from a 120/240-volt, 3-wire, single-phase source. Assuming that this type of device controls a 240-volt, 2000-watt heating unit, what is the wattage produced when the control supplies 120 volts to the heating unit? Show all calculations. ______________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________
