Solution Preview

For the first question, we will just find the connected load to the 220Volt supply.

Machine power is 800W and there are six 24W, 220V indicator lights

total Power = 800 + 6*24 = 944 W --- Ans

This is the total power required.

As a total of 944 W is connected to a 220V supply, the value of the current can be calculated using ...
