There are six current-carrying conductors in a raceway that is to be installed in an area with an ambient temperature of 96°F. It is necessary to

Expert Solution

1. The minimum size of conductor permitted to be used in any building for branch circuits ( for under 600V operation) is 14 AWG.

2. Parallel conductors must not be smaller than 1/0 AWG (aluminium or copper conductor).

------------------------------------------------------------

for question 3 and 4.

As per NEC 310.15(A)(3), When the number of conductors in a raceway exceeds 3 and ambient temperature is other than 30C(or, 86 F) then we apply both ambient temperature correction factor and adjustment factor for current carrying conductors.

----------------------------------------------------------

3. The ambient temperature is 86F and number of conductors in raceway is 3. So it is not necessary to apply Correction factor and adjustment factor to find the maximum allowable ampacity.

4. The ambient temperature is 96F(above 86F0 and number of conductors in raceway is 6(exceeds 3). So it is necessary to apply Correction factor and adjustment factor to find the maximum allowable ampacity.

This chapter goes through an overview of one of the leading smallest size theories - superstring theory. But is it a scientific theory? What issues in physics does it address better than other theories? What do you understand about the ten dimensions the theory requires? How do they fit into our observed reality? What is a particle according to this theory? How do different particles differ from each other? How are they related to each other?
