    small building site temp distribution

    I think you're right, its been years since I looked at transformer theory.

    small building site temp distribution

    Would it not be better practice to keep all the transformers on the same phase? If they are on different phases wouldnt it mean the 110v outputs would be at different phases and therefore you could come in to contact with more than 110v? or am i overthinking this?

    New to this forum so not sure what to expect from it. About me: 47 years old, used to be a mortgage adviser but due to several governments incompetencies, lost my job and career because as they're so fond of saying, "there's no money left". Anyhow, three years ago I decided a career change was...
