How does a person determine voltage drop in a single-phase circuit? To Find Voltage Drop in a Single-Phase Circuit ANSWER:

To Find Conductor Size for a Single-Phase Circuit

In the above formulae: Ed = result of voltage drop calculation in volts. K = approximate resistance in ohms per circular-mil foot at 75°C. • For uncoated copper wire, use a K factor of 12.9. • For aluminum wire, use 21.2. I = current in amperes flowing through the conductors. L = length in feet from beginning of circuit to the load. CMA = cross-sectional area of the conductors in circular mils. We use the factor of 2 for single-phase circuits because there is voltage drop in both conductors to and from the connected load.

POINTS: REFERENCES: QUESTION TYPE:

Because wiring devices used for dryer circuits are rated at 30-amperes, we have a minimum 30-ampere branch-circuit rating requirement. The minimum branch-circuit rating for the electric clothes dryer was found to be 30amperes, and that is the minimum rating of the overcurrent protective device—fuses or circuit breaker. According to Table 310.16, the ampacity for a 10 AWG copper conductor is 30-amperes in the 60°C column. The non-metallic-sheathed cable contains three 10 AWG conductors plus a 10 AWG equipment grounding conductor. Where EMT is used as the wiring method, Table C1, Annex C of the NEC shows that three 10 AWG THHN conductors require trade size 1⁄2 EMT. 1 Load Calculations Essay

The ampacity of a 3 AWG THWN copper conductors from Table 310.16 = 100 amperes. ANSWER: Apply the correction factor for 90°F (32°C) found in Table 310.15(B)(1)(1). The first column shows Celsius, the last column shows Fahrenheit. 100 × 0.94 = 94-amperes Apply the derating factor for four current-carrying conductors in one raceway. 94 × 0.80 = 75.2-amperes Therefore, 75.2-amperes is the new corrected ampacity for the example given.

Eight copper conductors with THHN/THWN insulation are installed in one raceway or cable(s). The conditions are dry and the temperature is expected to reach 100°F (38°C). All conductors are considered to be current-carrying. The expected noncontinuous load on each conductor is 18-amperes. Given this information the ampacity is ________. Load of 18-amperes when there are 8 current-carrying conductors in the conduit or cable. ANSWER: Table 310.15(C)(1) requires an adjustment factor of 70%. 18-amperes ÷ 0.7 = 25.7-amperes Next, we need to apply the correction factor for the 100°F ambient temperature. Table 310.15(B)(1)(1) indicates that for conductors that have an insulation suitable for 90°C we need to apply a 0.91 correction factor. 25.7-amperes ÷ 0.91 = 28.2-amperes Table 310.16 in the 90°C column, we find that a 12 AWG conductor with THHN insulation has an ampacity of 30 amperes and appears to be adequate for the load, however, note the asterisks in Table 310.16 next to the size of conductors 18 AWG through 10 AWG. A 12 AWG copper conductor is generally limited to being connected to a 20-ampere overcurrent protective device (Art. 240(D)(6)). So the minimum size conductor under these conditions is 10 AWG.

To calculate the overcurrent protection, conductors, and grounding needed for a single branch circuit supplying a 7.45 kW counter-mounted cooking unit and one 6.6 kW wall-mounted oven, all located in the same room, the following would be done _______. In amperes, the calculated load is I = W/E = 8800/240 = 36.7-amperes.The calculation is ANSWER: made by adding up the nameplate ratings of the individual appliances, then treating this total as if it were one electric range. The total connected load of these two appliances is 7450 + 6600 = 14050 watts I = W/E = 14050/240 = 58.5 amperes. However, Table 220.55 and the footnotes provide the information we need to make the load calculation. The column C load of 8 kW per 1 appliance is permitted to be used with 5% added for each kW or major fraction thereof by which the rating of the cooking appliances exceeds 12 kW. 14,050 – 12,000 watts = 2050 watts (2 kW) increase over 12 kW base = 10% The calculated load is then 8 kW + 0.8 kW = 8.8 kW.

Describe the overcurrent protection, conductors, and grounding calculations for a wall-mounted oven alone rated 6.6 kW (6600 Watts) at 120/240 volts. To begin, determine load required. I = W/E = 6600/240 = 27.5 amperes ANSWER: In 310.16, use the 60°C column to find that a 10 AWG conductor has an ampacity of 30amperes. This will be a 10 AWG 3-conductor plus equipment grounding conductor nonmetallic-sheathed cable. A 2-pole, 30-ampere circuit breaker located in Panelboard B provides the overcurrent protection. The disconnecting means is the 30-ampere, 2-pole circuit breaker. If a cord-and-plug connection were made, this also would serve as a disconnecting means. The equipment grounding conductor contained in the nonmetallic-sheathed cable (110 AWG) provides the means for grounding the frame of the oven.

To begin, calculate the load using nameplate rating per Table 220.55, I = W/E = 7,450/240 ANSWER: = 31.04-amperes. 8 AWG conductor has an ampacity of 40-amperes—more than adequate for the appliance’s calculated load of 31-amperes. This will be an 8 AWG 3-conductor plus equipment grounding conductor nonmetallic-sheathed cable. This result shows that overcurrent protection requires use of a 40-ampere, two-pole circuit breaker.
