Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

An apartment complex has 12 sockets, each drawing 10 A on a 240 V system. If only three sockets are used at a time, calculate the effective current load and discuss any safety implications.

💡 Hint: Consider the worst-case scenario of full usage.

Challenge 2 Hard

Design a streetlight system utilizing both HPS and LEDs. Analyze the cost-effectiveness and energy savings in a scenario where 10 HPS are replaced with LEDs.

💡 Hint: Use energy consumption calculations for both lamp types.
