The earth lead of a 24 V equipment is 0.5 ohm resistance and carries 80 A. How much power does it dissipate?
- 1.152 kW.
- 1.92 kW.
- 3.2 kW.
Explanation
Power lost in the lead depends on its current and resistance, not the 24 V supply: P = I squared x R = 80 squared x 0.5 = 6400 x 0.5 = 3200 W = 3.2 kW. The 24 V value is a distractor, since the relevant voltage is the small drop across the lead itself.
