Bot GPT 4-o mini To determine how many 50W, 220V downlights can be connected to a circuit protected by a 10A circuit breaker, we can start by calculating the total power that the circuit can handle.
-
Calculate the maximum allowable power on the circuit: \[ \text{Power (W)} = \text{Voltage (V)} \times \text{Current (A)} \] Given:
- Voltage = 220V
- Current = 10A
\[ \text{Power} = 220V \times 10A = 2200W \]
-
Calculate the power consumption of each downlight: Each downlight consumes 50W.
-
Determine the total number of downlights: We can find the number of downlights by dividing the total power by the power consumption of each downlight. \[ \text{Number of downlights} = \frac{\text{Total Power}}{\text{Power per downlight}} = \frac{2200W}{50W} = 44 \]
Therefore, the total number of 50W, 220V downlights that can be connected to each circuit is 44 downlights.
