Solution for Circuit # 1 Problem

a.How many lighting outlets are there at circuit # 1

Ans: 16 lighting outlets

b.What is the total wattage and total current for circuit # 1. If the wattage per lighting outlet is 9 watts

Ans:

P= 9 watts x 16 outlets= 144 watts

I= P/E = 144/230 = 0.63 Amps

c.Compute the required THHN/THWN size of wire in mm. sq.

Ans: No. 14 AWG / 2.0 mm sq.

d.What circuit breaker protection is needed for circuit # 1?

Ans: 15 Amps Fuse/cb

e.What size of conduit is required for circuit # 1?

Ans: 25 mm dia (1”)

Solution for Circuit # 2 Problem

a.How many lighting outlets are there at circuit # 2

Ans: 18 lighting outlets

b.What is the total wattage and total current for circuit # 2. If the wattage per lighting outlet is 11 watts

Ans:

P= 11 watts x 18 outlets= 198 watts

I= P/E = 198/230 = 0.86 Amps

c.Compute the required THHN/THWN size of wire in mm. sq.

Ans: 2.0 mm sq.

d.What circuit breaker protection is needed for circuit # 2?

Ans: 15 Amps Fuse/cb

e.What size of conduit is required for circuit # 2?

Ans: 25 mm dia (1”)
