If everything on Circuit B7 were turned on, what would be the total current draw?
______________________________________________________________________
Calculate the total current drawn when every load on Circuit B7 is turned on.
Answer to Problem 1R
The total current drawn is 6.5 A.
Explanation of Solution
Given data:
Refer to TABLE 12-1 in the textbook for the various loads of Circuit B7.
Consider that the Volt-Amperes (VA) rating when all the loads in Circuit B7 are turned on is 780 W.
The value of voltage rating of the elements in Circuit B7 is 120 V.
Formula used:
Consider the expression for the total current.
Here,
VA is Volt-Ampere rating, and
E is voltage.
Calculation:
Substitute 780 W for VA and 120 V for E in Equation (1).
Conclusion:
Thus, the total current drawn is 6.5 A.

- From how many points in the garage of this residence are the ceiling lights controlled? _____________________arrow_forwardAlthough the Code contains many exceptions to the basic overcurrent protection requirements for conductors, in general, the rating of the branch-circuit overcurrent device must (not be less than) (not be more than) the ampacity of a conductor. (Circle the correct answer.)arrow_forwardA fundamental rule regarding the grounding of metal boxes, luminaires, and so on, is that they must be grounded when in reach of ___________.arrow_forward
- In order to wire a post light, a homeowner purchased some single-conductor cable that was marked as suitable for direct burial in the ground. A separate equipment grounding conductor to the post light was not carried. Instead, the bottom of the metal post, buried 2 ft (0.6 m) into the ground, was used as a ground for the post light. The inspector red tagged (turned down) the installation. Who is rightthe homeowner or the electrical inspector? Explain. ___________________ ___________________ ___________________arrow_forwardThe NEC requires that a ____________ means be provided for standby power systems. In the case of portable gen sets, this might be as simple as pulling out the plug on the extension cord that is plugged into the receptacle on the gen set. For permanently installed standby power generators, this might be on the gen set and/or separately provided inside or outside of the home.arrow_forwardA layout of the outlets, switches, dimmers, track lighting, and recessed luminaires is shown in the following diagram.
