You are working as an electrician installing fluorescent lights. You notice that the lights were made in Europe and that the ballasts are rated for operation on a 50-Hz system. Will these ballasts be harmed by overcurrent if they are connected to 60 Hz? If there is a problem with these lights, what will be the most likely cause of the trouble?

A single-phase electric motor is connected to a 240-volt, 30-ampere circuit. The motor nameplate indicates that the full-load current draw of the motor is 21 amperes. The motor is connected to an inertia load (a large flywheel) that requires several seconds for the motor to accelerate to full speed. Because of the long starting time, the motor causes the circuit breaker to trip before the load has reached full speed. Your job is to connect a resistor in series with the motor during the starting period that will limit the starting current to 90% of the circuit-breaker rating. An ammeter indicates that the motor has a current draw of 64 amperes when power is first applied to the motor. Determine the ohmic value and wattage rating of the resistor that should be connected in series with the motor during the starting period.
