Book "B": Power and Energy
Electricity is useful because it is capable of transferring power and energy from one place to another.

Energy is the ability to do work.

Power is the rate at which energy is transferred from one place to another.

There is no fundamental limit on either with electricity.

Summative Test 1
The material in the above sections all contributes to Summative Test 1. The original date was 8 April 2020, but this is delayed due to the disruption caused by the Covid-19 pandemic.
When classes eventually resume, Summative Test 1 will occur. Summative Test 1 will be done on paper in the classroom.
Please make sure you're up-to-date by doing all of the assignments and worksheets.

  This is a practice test for Summative Test 1. The questions are in the same format as the Summative Test 1, and the questions are the same size and same order of difficulty.
  
  The minimum passing grade is 60%, or 48 marks, as is with the "real" Summative Test 1.
  
  Instructions from the "Real" Summative Test 1
  
  Here are the instructions from the real Summative Test 1. These instructions will apply when Summative Test 1 is sat.
  
  Please read carefully before starting this assessment.
  
  This is a theory assessment to be completed under examination conditions.
  
  A maximum of 90 minutes is allowed to complete this test.
  
  This is a closed book test.
  
  A scientific calculator is required and must not be a programmable calculator.
  
  Cell phones and other electronic devices are not allowed.
  
  60% of the total marks allocated must be achieved to pass the test.
  
  All assignments must be correctly completed and returned before the test can be attempted.****
  
  All working should be correctly shown to attain all allocated marks for that question.

- John Ward - Cable Overload Demonstration URL
  
  This video is a demonstration of overloading a 1 mm² twin and earth cable with various currents beyond its rating.
  The author is based in the UK, but the cable is otherwise similar to cables used in New Zealand.
- Nexans 2019 Cable Catalogue File
  
  4.5 MB PDF document
  
  The Nexans/Olex Cables 2019 cable catalogue.
  This catalogue may also be downloaded from Nexans's own website.
  NOTE: This catalogue is being used as an example of a cable catalogue, and not as a commercial endorsement of Nexans and Olex. The behaviour of other brands of cables should be similar.
  This catalogue has a range of information from AS/NZS 3008 about cable selection, voltage drop, and short circuit current withstand.
  At low currents (<100 A), the cable rating is generally defined by the protective device rating.
  At higher currents, the protective device can be programmed to accommodate the cable capacity.
  In general, for most low current jobs the "rule of thumb" section C3 in the Wiring Rules may be used.
  I would advise that for any household wiring, that the "bulk thermal insulation, partially surrounded" rating is used. This covers wiring in contact with the surface of thermal insulation, as well as cables between thermal insulation, and a non thermally insulating surface (e.g. cables clipped to wood and in contact with thermal insulation).
  For TPS, the most relevant pages are pages 44-45. The ratings for "surface clipped" (the right set of columns) mostly corresponds to "in air" ratings in section C3. Note that the rating may vary depending on the interpretation of AS/NZS 3008, and the exact construction details of the cable of interest.
- AS/NZS 3000:2007 Section C3 (Protective Device Sizing for Cables) Extract File
  
  1.0 MB PDF document
  
  Sections C3 provide "simplified" selections of protective device ratings for a given cable size in a given range of situations, and calculation of voltage drop.
  As discussed above, all cables installed in domestic housing should be treated as "bulk thermal insulation - partially surrounded".
  The ratings here are more conservative than those in AS/NZS3008, in the sense that the protective device rating is the limiting factor on cable current capacity rather than the cable itself.
  The voltage drop may be slightly over estimated. This is not a problem if the simplified calculation is below any target voltage drop. Bear in mind that in many cases a calculated result that is slightly over the allowed design value is ok if the full conditions of diversity and maximum demand are taken into account.
