I agree that the math is messed up for "40.625", and I quite liked the way you figured out where the mistake came in.
Thank you, I admit I am a math geek.:grin:
The "wink" and the underlined "must" was that I'm aware some tests have wrong answers, and I was making fun of that - I guess it didn't come out on screen the way it was in my mind.
I got it, my reply was meant to show that
joebell, I agree with the need to use 5000W by 220.54 as it's higher than the nameplate rating, but does 220.54 have to be used?
hmmm. do not know. thought so,but....
It appears that there is a discrepancy between 220.14 and 220.14(B). The first is mandatory, the second is permissive, which results in not really having to use any specific numbers to calculate dryer loads. imo, together they basically read "You are required to use a non-required article with an optional table to do your dryer calculations".
I need a drink.:grin:
joebell, jumper is saying that he agrees with your answer of 125,000W, just that isn't an answer on the test.
Yes,yes and yes!!!!!
