Chapter 19.2, Problem 2R
A major hazard involved with water heaters is that they operate under whatever pressure the serving water utility supplies. Water stays liquid at temperatures higher than the normal boiling point of 212°F (100°C). If the high-temperature limit control failed to operate for whatever reason, should a pipe burst or a faucet be opened, the pressure would instantly drop to normal atmospheric pressure, causing the superheated water to turn into ______________ that could result in ______________. To prevent this from happening, water heaters are equipped with pressure/temperature relief valves.

QUESTION 9
When a ground wire is connected to an interior gas piping system and the underground portion of the gas pipe into the building is plastic, which of the following is (or are) true?
a
A.This would be approved by code as the gas pipe is only being bonded to the electrical system.
b
B.This installation would be approved by code, as the gas pipe is not a grounding electrode.
c
C.Both A and B
d
D.Neither A nor B
The LRT trolley system 10 miles ling is fed by two substations that generate 600 volts and 500 volts, respectively. The resistance of the trolley wire and the rail return is 0.3 ohm per mile. If the car is located 4 miles from the 600-volt station draws 200 A from the line. How much is the current supplied by each station?
