Question 253 of 380

In a building there are 1515 bulbs of 45W45W , 1515 bulbs of 100W,15100W,15 small fans of 10W10W and 22 heaters of 1kW1kW . The voltage of electric main supply is 220V220V . The minimum fuse capacity (rated value) of the building will be:

Show answer and solution

Answer: (D) 20A20A

Total power is (15×45)+(15×100)+(15×10)+(2×1000)\left(15\times 45\right)+\left(15\times 100\right)+\left(15\times 10\right)+\left(2\times 1000\right)
=4325W=4325W
So current
=4325220=19.66A≈20A=\dfrac{4325}{220}=19.66A\approx 20A
so we have to use a fuse which can tolerate atleast 20 A current.
