1. Mark ‘N’ if a wrong type of units is used. Mark ‘Y’ otherwise. (1 point each)

What is the difference between a series circuit and a parallel circuit?

serg [7]

Answer:

In a parallel circuit, the voltage across each of the components is the same, and the total current is the sum of the currents flowing through each component. ... In a series circuit, every device must function for the circuit to be complete. If one bulb burns out in a series circuit, the entire circuit is broken.

Two balanced Y-connected loads in parallel, one drawing 15kW at 0.6 power factor lagging and the other drawing 10kVA at 0.8 powe

NemiM [27]

Answer:

(a) attached below

(b) $pf_{C}=0.85$ $lagging$

(c) $I_{C} =32.37 A$

(d) $X_{C} =49.37$ Ω

(e) $I_{cap} =9.72 A$ and $I_{line} =27.66 A$

Explanation:

Given data:

$P_{1}=15 kW$

$S_{2} =10 kVA$

$pf_{1} =0.6$ $lagging$

$pf_{2}=0.8$ $leading$

$V=480$ $Volts$

(a) Draw the power triangle for each load and for the combined load.

$\alpha_{1}=cos^{-1} (0.6)=53.13$ °

$\alpha_{2}=cos^{-1} (0.8)=36.86$ °

$S_{1}=P_{1} /pf_{1} =15/0.6=25 kVA$

$Q_{1}=P_{1} tan(\alpha_{1} )=15*tan(53.13)=19.99$ ≅ $20kVAR$

$P_{2} =S_{2}*pf_{2} =10*0.8=8 kW$

$Q_{2} =P_{2} tan(\alpha_{2} )=8*tan(-36.86)=-5.99$ ≅ $-6 kVAR$

The negative sign means that the load 2 is providing reactive power rather than consuming

Then the combined load will be

$P_{c} =P_{1} +P_{2} =15+8=23 kW$

$Q_{c} =Q_{1} +Q_{2} =20-6=14 kVAR$

(b) Determine the power factor of the combined load and state whether lagging or leading.

$S_{c} =P_{c} +jQ_{c} =23+14j$

or in the polar form

$S_{c} =26.92$ °

$pf_{C}=cos(31.32) =0.85$ $lagging$

The relationship between Apparent power S and Current I is

$S=VI^{*}$

Since there is conjugate of current I therefore, the angle will become negative and hence power factor will be lagging.

(c) Determine the magnitude of the line current from the source.

Current of the combined load can be found by

$I_{C} =S_{C}/\sqrt{3}*V$

$I_{C} =26.92*10^3/\sqrt{3}*480=32.37 A$

(d) Δ-connected capacitors are now installed in parallel with the combined load. What value of capacitive reactance is needed in each leg of the A to make the source power factor unity?Give your answer in Ω

$Q_{C} =3*V^2/X_{C}$

$X_{C} =3*V^2/Q_{C}$

$X_{C} =3*(480)^2/14*10^3$ Ω

(e) Compute the magnitude of the current in each capacitor and the line current from the source.

Current flowing in the capacitor is

$I_{cap} =V/X_{C} =480/49.37=9.72 A$

Line current flowing from the source is

$I_{line} =P_{C} /3*V=23*10^3/3*480=27.66 A$

You work for a printing company, and you realize that your colleague sent incorrect price quotes to a client. You begin to write

xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:

The sentence excerpted from the e-mail uses passive voice.

Given the purpose of your message, this voice is appropriate.

Explanation:

Because the objective is to remedy the situation a passive voice is great because it emphasizes the action and the object instead of the subject.

We want to emphasize the document and the incorrect information, not our colleague.

tech a says that small vacuum leaks can be found with a vacuum gauge. tech b says that the catalytic converter is typically loca

schepotkina [342]

Both are true. Tech A claims that a vacuum gauge can be used to locate tiny vacuum leaks. According to tech B, the catalytic converter is usually placed behind the muffler.

<h3>Which of the following links the catalytic converter to the exhaust manifold?</h3>

Tailpipe. The catalytic converter has cleaned up the exhaust gases, which are then sent out of the car and into the atmosphere via the tailpipe, the last link in the exhaust system.

<h3>Which of the following exhaust system parts aids in lowering exhaust emissions?</h3>

Hazardous pollutants from engine exhaust are decreased by the catalytic converter. The converter, which is situated between the exhaust manifold and the muffler, works with heat and metals that serve as catalysts.
