Question
- A double-oven electric range is rated at 18 kW, 120/240 volts. Calculate the maximum demand according to Table 220.55. Show all calculations.
- For the range discussed in problem 1:
- What size 60°C ungrounded conductors are required?
- What size 60°C neutral conductor is required?
- What size 75°C ungrounded conductors are required? The terminal block and lugs on the range, the branch-circuit breaker, and the panelboard are marked as suitable for 75°C wire.
- What size 75°C neutral conductor is required? Terminations are the same as in part (c).
- What size 60°C ungrounded conductors are required?

Electricity flows from the power plant Through wires to the step-up transformer. The transformer raises the voltage so it can travel long distances - it is raised as high as 756,000 volts. Electricity is generated in the power plant by hydroelectric, nuclear, wind or geothermal energy. The electric current then runs through the power lines to the substation transformer where voltage is lowered to between 2000 and 13000 volts. The turbine spins a huge magnet inside a copper wire. Heat energy converts to mechanical energy which then converts to electrical energy in the generator. From there, electricity comes into your home through a service box, where your heter IS located to electrical consumption. measure your Wires Taice electricity around your home, powering your lights and all your other electrical appliances.
