A mobile home served with 120/240 volt 3 wire service that has a calculated load greater than 50 ampere is required to be supplied power using a permanent wire method from the adjacent power supply pole to the mobile home. The power supply feeder is required to consist of?
Assume a bank of heating strips is rated at 22 KW and is connected to 240 volts. The heat strips operate for 4 hours at a time and are located in an area with an ambient temperature of 86 degrees F. The termination temperature rating of the heat disconnect lugs are unknown. Copper conductors with type THWN-2 insulation are to be used because of the environment of the installation to connect the heaters. What size conductors should be used?
All answers should be written in complete sentences. Calculations should be shown in detail, and Codereferences should be cited when appropriate. Unless otherwise stated, all conductors are copper type THHN, and the supply is AC.
1. What are the minimum allowable ampacities of the phase conductors and the neutralconductor that are to supply a 2-phase, 3-wire, 230-volt, 30-horsepower motor?
