Chapter 2, Problem 1PA
You are an electrician on the job. The electrical blueprint shows that eight 500-W lamps are to be installed on the same circuit. The circuit voltage is 277 V and is protected by a 20-A circuit breaker. A continuous-use circuit can be loaded to only 80% of its rating. Is a 20-A circuit large enough to carry this load?
