    PPI Camera Power Sample Exam #1 - Problem #8 - Unbalanced Loads

    I think you are correct to assume that there are two loads for Phases A and C. The problem statement seems to be unclear. If there is only one phase between Phases A and C, there will be no flow in the neutral.

    PE Power Question for the Week

    Spin-up, A question on Week 2 problem: The 3-phase motor is fed from the 3-phase 4600V (phase-to-phase) generator via a 10:1 delta-wye transformer. On primary side, the phase-to-phase voltage is 4600V --> on secondary side, the phase-to-neutral voltage is 460V. Should the motor voltage...

    Neutral load on Dwelling Feeder and Service for Dwelling

    Per NEC Section 220.61, the feeder or service neutral load shall be the maximum unbalance of the load between the neutral conductor and any one ungrounded conductor. When I reviewed examples D1(a)/(B), D2(a)/(B) in Annex D, I was confused which appliance loads should be included on the neutral...

    Voltage Drop vs. Circular Mils Calculation

    SC57, You made a point here. It seems that after sizing the wire (to satisfy the VD requirement) according to the formula CM = 1.732 x K x I x D / VD, we still need to check the allowable current for the selected wire. In this example, we could use #8 wire (according to the given formula)...

    Voltage Drop vs. Circular Mils Calculation

    SC57, I agree with you #2 wire should be used based on 125% x load current. I also noticed that the #2 wire will give me less than 3% voltage drop. However, this is not the purpose of my post. I couldn't understand why the formula CM = 1.732 x K x I x D / VD doesn't lead me to the right size...
