Expert Solution

1. Option c - Infrared camera.

Explanation: Tachymeter is used to mesure speed based on time tavelled over a fixed distance. Whereas, Pshycrometer is used for measuring humidity of air. Again, Bourdon gauge is a mechanical device used for measuring pressure. But, Infrared camera is used for detecting uninsulated stream lines.

2. Option A- Measurement of CO2 level in building

Explanation: Measurements of light levels sets up the base for comparison with other type of lighting sysrtems for energy comparison. Measurement of power of lighting circuit is very necessery as Energy = (Power x time). . Measurement of lighting system operating time is required to calculate Energy as , Energy = (Power x time).

3. Option A- Increase motor loss by approx 7%

Explanation: Unbalance is supply voltage will always cause increase in motor losses as extra losses will be generated by higher frequency components of currents( if we do fourier analysis of unbalanced supply, we can understand better.). As loss is proportional to (Supply voltage)² . So, calculation for individual phases gives approx increase of 7% loss.

4. Option d- 7.5 kW.

Explanation: As, we can say that, power rating of a motor in exhaust fan is approxmately proportional to volume flow rate of air in full load. hence, 30% reduction in volume flow rate implies approx 30% reduction in motor rating if we want to run it in full load. So, new motor rating = 11 x (1 - 0.3) = 7.7 kW. So the closest answar is 7.5kW
