Your right Radar, however....
On a residential "split phase" 240v system the phase voltages are 180 out of phase, and so are the nuetral currents. The nuetral currents, when they meet at a central point, cancel each other out, because they are 180 apart.
Now on a 3 phase system, if we use 2 of the phases, this is a "single phase" 240V circuit. These currents are 120 degrees apart, so when the meet at a central point, they do not completely cancel, like in a "split phase" system.
The nuetral calculations are different...
And to make matters worse, Redsy just threw a hole in my calculations with a new thought, maybe he'll chime in.....
It has been a long week, and I have a weekend of shoveling the white stuff ahead of me...
So, who has the answers to the above problem? It's killing me.....
Or are you guys keeping me in suspense, just to be cruel and give me more grey hair?
Dnk....
