A homeowner is installing a swimming pool. You have been asked to install a circuit to operate a 600-watt underwater light and a

circulating pump. The motor nameplate reveals that the pump has a current draw of 8.5 amperes. The devices are considered continuous duty. Can the power to operate both of these devices be supplied by a single 20-ampere circuit?

Answer:

The answer is given below

Step-by-step explanation:

The loads in the circuit are continuous duty, so the circuit can only loaded to 80% of its current rating.

Calculate 80% current rating of the circuit breaker.

Icb = [ 80/100] (20 A)

     =  (O.8) (20 A )

     = 16 A

Now we assume that the value of supply voltage is 120 V

Now we will calculate current flows via under water light which will be taken as  Load 1

<em>Ii = </em>500 W/120 V

  = 4.167 A

Current via the circulating pump which will be taken as Load 2 IS 8.5 A

<em>I = </em>load1 + load 2

<em>    = 4.167 A + 8.5 A</em>

<em>   = 12.67 A</em>

The total current in the circuit obtained which is less than the circuit breaker rating current. Therefore, the power can be operated for both the loads.

The future worth of a certain item or money deposited at a certain percentage is obtained by the equation,

   F = P x (1 + i)^n

F is the future worth, P is present worth, i is the percentage, and n is the number of years.

   n = 2013 - 1938
   n = 75

Substituting the known values,

    300,000 = 100 x (1 + i)^75

The value of i from the equation is 0.1126.

The answer to this item is 11.26%.

Maurinko [17]

Answer: 792

Step-by-step explanation:

From what I got it should be 792 because it is asking for doubles, triples, and home runs all together at the same amount that he got on his first year.

It says after 12 years

Doubles 47 times 12 years = 564

Triples 4 times 12 years = 48

and

Home runs 15 times 12 years = 180

564 + 48 = 612

612 + 180 = 792
