Chapter 19.2, Problem 19R
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? _____________________

The only way to reach any of the levels where ABC Company is located in a building with ten stories is to use the elevator. In addition, those on the ninth and tenth levels need to connect to a group of servers located on the eighth. Describe the best wiring for the lift shaft. Pick the best option if there is more than one and justify your decision. If you think that interfloor connections may need to operate at substantially greater rates in the future, you may want to reconsider your current option. What is the optimum media for unbounded data transfer requirements? Justify your response.

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.)
