Here is my full question -
A typical 120-volt household circuit delivers 350 watts of power to an appliance, and another 10 watts of power are consumed by the circuit. There is no ground fault. a. How much current is carried by the hot wire? b. How much current is carried by the neutral? c. How much current is carried by the grounding conductor? d. Calculate the resistance of the circuit:
by "consumed by the circuit" I assume you mean consumed by the wires. Assuming resistive loads only, the total load is 360 watts, thus the current is 3 amps. The current flows in the hot and the neutral.
What else can I help you with?
What is the total load allowed on a 20 amp 120volt circuit can not exceed?
2400 watts.
What is the Current through a 75-watt bulb that is connected to a 120-volt circuit?
Considering an incandescent bulb and using P=VxI P= Power Watts V= Volts I= Current (amperes) I=P/V I=75Watts/120Volts = 0.625 Amperes (A or Amps) Therefore the current through a 75watt bulb that is connected to a 120volt circuit is 0.625 amps.
What breaker do you with a 120amps 120volt arc welder?
For a 120-amp, 120-volt arc welder, you typically need a double-pole circuit breaker rated for at least 30 amps. This allows for the necessary current flow while providing adequate protection against overloads and short circuits. It's also important to use appropriate wiring to handle the current safely. Always consult the welder's manual and local electrical codes for specific requirements.
How do you wire 120volt well water pump?
To wire a 120-volt well water pump, first ensure all power is off at the circuit breaker. Connect the pump's motor wires to the power supply wires: typically, the black wire from the pump connects to the black (hot) wire from the power supply, and the white wire connects to the white (neutral) wire. Use wire nuts to secure the connections and wrap them with electrical tape for insulation. Finally, ground the pump by connecting the green or bare copper wire to the grounding terminal.
How does different types of soil affect the type of electrical systems?
The only thing I can think of to such a vague question is; the grounding rods would have to be buried deeper in sandy, or marshy soil. Is this what you're after, or do you mean the construction and location of a powerplant? Different types soil have different electrical resistance properties. The higher the resistance in the soil the greater effect on the systems ability to establish a ground. A ground is used for multiple reasons, one being the return path for a 120volt system the other being a fault path for all systems. The lower the resistance at ground the quicker a fault will reach maximum current and opening of the protective device (less chance for fire to result). When the resistance of the soil is above a certain level measured with a ground resistance tester, normal excepted practices are no longer useful. There are many different methods some chemically applied some mechanically applied that can be utilized to reduce the resistance, the most suitable method is generally selected based on past experience and/or exceptability by the engineer responsible for the project. There are many things that affect the ability of soil to conduct electricity, as well as disapate it. Not only at the time of the test, but permanently. Without this ground and/or return path an electrical system becomes unsafe, unpredictable, and in most cases damaging to the 120v equipment that is connected to it.
Why would you get 65volt on 120volt output on a 480volt to 120volt transformer?
Your neutral May not be grounded good
Installing a 120volt appliance what breaker is needed at the electric box?
For a 120-volt appliance, a single-pole breaker with a rating suitable for the appliance's power requirements should be installed in the electric box. The amperage rating of the breaker should match the current draw of the appliance to ensure proper protection and operation. It is important to consult with a qualified electrician to determine the appropriate breaker size for your specific appliance.
What is touch potential in switchyard?
120volt
Can you weld 7guage material with a 120volt mig welder?
yes
Calculate 120Volt 15 amp appliance kWh?
Well, a 120V appliance that draws 15A would be using 1800W. (15x120). A killowatt hour is one killowatt used continuously for an hour. If you used that device for one hour straight, it would use 1.8 kWh. (Keep in mind the device may not draw a full 15A)
How many watts does it require to run a 15 cubic foot 120volt freezer?
1200
What is the total load allowed on a 20 amp 120volt circuit can not exceed?
2400 watts.
How do you change a 120volt to a 240volt?
You wouldn't change these voltages in a car. Please be more specific.
Which device converts 120volt ac from what if your wall to 12vdc for your computer to use?
power supply
Is a 120volt appliance safe in a 110volt step down transformer?
The supply voltage in the US and Canada has a nominal value of 120 V, but national standards allow a variation of +/-5%, so the actual voltage could fluctuate between 114 V and 126 V. If you assume a similar variation to the voltage output from your transformer , then the two voltage variations would overlap. In other words, yes, it should be quite safe for your 120-V appliance to operate from a transformer supplying 110 V.
How many amps can be drawn off 1kw?
depends on voltage.... 120volt = 8.33 amps , 240volt = 4.17 amps
Is 124 volts TOO HIGH for household wall outlet in USA?
Normal voltage for 120volt outlets is 110v to 130v. It would vary depending on the length and size of the wire to the nearest power company transformer, and the different voltage terminals on the transformer that the power company connects.
