An inverse-time circuit breaker (CB) is used for branch-circuit short-circuit and ground-fault protection for a 30-horsepower, 2

08-volt, 3-phase squirrel-cage motor. Calculate the maximum rating permitted for the circuit breaker.

Answer:

Explanation:

Motor rating is given in horsepower (hp), it will be converted in watt (W).

Standard to install circuit breaker for an electric circuit is usually 20% ~ 25% more than the Rated Current of the circuit

while

Standard to install overload relay for an electric circuit is usually 20% ~ 25% more than the Running Current of the circuit.

So, to find the maximum capacity of the circuit breaker, rated current of the motor will be multiplied by 1.2 ~ 1.25

Step by Step Explanation:

30hp = 22371W (as 1hp = 745.7)

Assuming unity power factor (cosФ=1) and 208V phase to phase voltage:

Rated Power (watt) = √3 . V.I. cosФ

<em>{if 208V is phase to neutral voltage, then use following formula:</em>

<em> Rated Power (watt) = 3 . V.I. cosФ}</em>

\frac{22371}{\sqrt{3} * 208 * 1} = I

Rated Current = <u>62.169A</u>

So, required maximum rating for circuit breaker is:

20% to 25% of the rated current = 62.17*1.2 ~ 62.17*1.25

=74.6A ~ 77.7A

Hence, any breaker between the above mentioned rating will be appropriate.

Which wave must have a medium to travel?
o-na [289]

Letter B

without a medium, there is nothing to compress, hence, no wave. A fast- medium like a gas (air) is easy to compress and allows waves to move through it easily. a slow medium, like a liquid, is still pretty fast, but not as fast as air.

A block is given an initial velocity of 8.0 m/s up a frictionless 28° inclined plane. (a) What is its velocity when it reaches t
kramer

Answer:

A.) 8 m/s

B.) 7.0 m

Explanation:

Given that a block is given an initial velocity of 8.0 m/s up a frictionless 28° inclined plane.

(a) What is its velocity when it reaches the top of the plane?

Since the plane is frictionless, the final velocity V will be the same as 8 m/s

The velocity will be 8 m/s as it reaches the top of the plane.

(b) How far horizontally does it land after it leaves the plane?

For frictionless plane,

a = gsinø

Acceleration a = 9.8sin28

Acceleration a = 4.6 m/s^2

Using the third equation of motion

V^2 = U^2 - 2as

Substitute the a and the U into the equation. Where V = 0

0 = 8^2 - 2 × 4.6 × S

9.2S = 64

S = 64/9.2

S = 6.956 m

S = 7.0 m

A newspaper turns yellow in sunlight. Is this a physical or chemical change?
LekaFEV [45]
It is a chemical change. I always think of a chemical/physical change as if you could  reverse it back as it started off, for example if you stepped on a can you can reverse the can back probably not exactly like it was before but you can still reverse it so this would be a physical change, and if you baked a pizza you could not reverse the dough and everything else back.
