Chapter 8, Problem 4PA
The hot water for the heating system for a small factory is supplied by a single boiler. The bolier is locatd in a small building separate form the factory. The power supplied to the bioler is 240-volt single-phase without a netural conductor. At the present time, the small building housing the bioler has no inside lighting. The business owner desires that four 100-watt lamps be installed inside the building. All lamps are to be connected to a single switch. The lamps are to be connected to the present 240-volt sercvice inside the building. How would you accomplish this task? Explain your answer.

You are the city planner in charge of running a high-efficiency power line from a power station to a new shopping center being built nearby. The power station is located on 1st St, and the shopping center is on Shopping Ln. The power station is M miles north of Shopping Ln, and the shopping center is N miles east of 1st St. While the power line can run above ground along 1st St, it must be run underground away from 1st St.
In addition to the variable location of the switch point, there are three other variable parameters to consider for this scenario: 1) the cost relationship between running a power line above ground versus running the line below ground (i.e., in Prompt 1 it cost three times as much to run the wire underground, but perhaps it costs five times as much, or perhaps it costs D^2 as much), 2) the distance (M) from the power station to Shopping Ln, and 3) the distance (N) from the shopping center to 1st St.
While all four parameters can affect the optimization process, the…

During a visit, you observed that the building receives a 400V, 60Hz, star-connected, three-phase supply from the utility. There are also several three-phase equipment that require a 230V three-phase supply. You have decided to utilize three single-phase, dry type transformers to step down the building’s incoming supply to a 230V, delta-connected supply for the equipment. All the three-phase machinery can be modelled as an equivalent balanced three-phase star-connected load with a resistance and inductance of 0.5Ω and 0.16mH respectively per phase. Some preliminary calculations and analysis are required before starting the wiring design.
