A 240v, 24a, Single-Phase Load Is Located 160 Ft From The Panelboard. The Load Is Wired With
10 Awg Conductors. What's The Approximate Voltage Drop Of The Branch-Circuit Conductors?



A. 3.2v

B. 4.25v

C. 5.9v

D. 9.5v

ANS: D. 9.5v



Vd = (2 X K X I X D)/Cmil

K = 12.90, Copper

I = 24a

D = 160 Ft

Cmil = 10,380

Vd = (2 Wires X 12.90 X 24a X 160 Ft)/10,380 Cmil

Vd = 9.50v




During Normal Operation Of A Typical 120-Volt Appliance Circuit, Current Flows Through The
Hot, Grounding, And Neutral Conductors.



A. True

B. False

, ANS: B. False




An Rlc Series Circuit Has An Applied Voltage Of 240 Volts. R = 48 Ω, Xl = 100 Ω, Xc = 36 Ω, And Z
= 80 Ω. What Is The Total Current?



A. 1 A

B. 2 A

C. 3 A

D. 4 A

ANS: C. 3 A



240/80 = 3




What's The Direct-Current Resistance Of A 6 Awg Copper Conductor That's 400 Ft Long?



A. 0.20 Ohms

B. 0.30 Ohms

C. 0.40 Ohms

D. 0.50 Ohms

ANS: A. 0.20 Ohms



6 Awg Resistance = 0.491 Ohms/1,000 Ft [Chapter 9, Table 8]

(0.491 Ohms/1,000 Ft) X 400 Ft = 0.1964 Ohms
