Just guessing, 159.8232?

well Mr Allen since your post was possibly directed in tripping me up…please explain the equation.
I teach NEC Code....not NEC Math other than load and calculations for computing as such, ampacity requirements and dwelling load calculations in order to obtain licensing in VA.
So it is fairly easy......YET.....lets post that on the Mike Holt forum and see how many electricians can give you this with out multiple choice which is used on most exams....refrence please.
I gave the formula for inductive reactance.......elighten me on the math to compute your question since it seems VERY important to you.

When teaching the NEC the math equations that come up are simular to as followes:
What is the current in ampere of a three-phase, 18KW, 208 volt load?
or
What is the powe loss in watts for a conductor tha carries 24 ampere and has a voltage drop of 7.2 volts?
These are questions on my masters exam......These are formulas we teach...sorry......I do not go much into millihenry induction or conversions of such.......hard enough for them to pass the test as it is now.
I do not recall a single " sparky " ( BTW- I hate that term ) that calculates these figures in the field.....we install to the ratings of the equipment and listings of the amp rating for REAL world installations.

I’m gonna go with a voltage of 159.8232 VAC. (Same answer as Greg)
Assuming I remember my electronic formulas right, XL=2piFL
XL=6.2832 x 60 x.015 = 5.65488 Ohms.
5.65488 + 5 = 10.65488 Ohms.
E=IR
E=15 x 10.65488
E=159.8232 VAC.
If I am right, I'd be stunned. Been over 20 years since Navy Electronic school.

Is the resistor in series or // with inductor??

Oh stop…you cant offend me…lol…Change the topic back and repost the question…dont remove it…hell I got it wrong…well I got the first part right but heck…I got it wrong…
Let me see.....I cant remember how it goes....
15 amps at 60 hertz with 5 ohms resistance and induction of 15 milihenrys...what is the voltage after deductions..something like that....post that sucker again...!..lol
Enlilghten us on how this is used in the electrical field today and why it is not covered in Mike Holts study guides and books for training to pass the NEC exam...lol
Heck I got close......I never really gave an answer...lol...but did get the formula right for the first part of it...lol

SO sad , I posted it for fun, No one was supposed to be able to figure it out.
The answer is 113.1 volts and if you spend the time to figure out ohms law it fits, I did not make it up..
As I said ....... Just checking.

No way Todd.
They never would have accepted that in school.

now…answer my basic everyday in the field electrical math calculations that any electrician should know how to calculate because it is taught in every class…

ok…here is one for you…very simple…
A 5hp motor is located 90 feet from a 120/240v panelboard. What size conductor should be used if the motor nameplate indicated 52 ampere at 115volts? Terminal rated for 75 degree C.
In the field type question....give it a shot ole sparky !

On the fly , I am guessing it is 3 phase and would also install 12 awg THHN.
