1. A 110-V, 2-wire de line is converted into a 3-wire, 110/220 V line by adding a wire similar to that used in the 2-wire line. If same line loss is maintained then
A. power transmission would be doubled
B. each wire will carry one-third of the load current when the load is equally balanced between the two sides of the line.
C. the only advantage is that 200-V motors can be operated
D. the amount of copper would have been increased by 33.3%

6. The most important reason for not using the neutral in a 110/220-V, 3-wire system is that
A. increased cost of a 3-fuse outlet out-weighs its advantages
B. additional fuse protection is unnecessary
C. blowing of a neutral fuse may produce a serious voltage imbalance in the circuit
