A single-phase load is located 2800 ft from its source. The load draws a current of 86 A and operated on 480 V. The maximum voltage drop at the load cannot be greater than 3%. What size aluminum conductors should be installed to operate this load?

Explanation:

Initially, we should analyse the system- load and wire are connected in series, which means that they have the same current flow, but we have a voltage drop across the wire.

As it is given, wire is made from aluminum with the specific resistance of 2.82 Ohm*m.

As the specific resistance is given in SI units, we can convert distance in the meters to make calculations easier:

As, the maximum loss of the voltage is 3% and the operating voltage is 480V, we can calculate the maximum allowed drop across the wires:

Vloss=480*3%=14.4 V

Using Ohm's law, we can calculate the maximum allowed resistance of the wire for the given current:

Resistance of the wire, can be calculated using its specific resistance D, length l and area A:

From this equation, we can calculate minimal required area of the wire:

From where, assuming, that the wire has circular cross section, we can find its diameter:

answer: excel provides a method to add or to remove borders around and between cells. instead of selecting cells first and then formatting, you can choose the formatting tool that you want to use, and then apply the format to one or more cells.
