    Energy Consumption on 3-phase with solar into one phase

    Hi Quick question about a system a user wants who has 3-phase electricity. If we install a 4kWp system onto one phase, when it is generating more power than is being used by that phase, will the other phases consume that power, thus slowing/stopping the meter, or is it lost back to the grid...

    3-phase power calculations

    Hi, I am a trainee electrician and have some questions concerning a 3-phase installation. I have been asked to calculate the maximum load of a supply at a factory and have the following information. I realise the best option is to use a clamp meter and measure the voltage and current load across...

    4KW/16A and 3-phase

    Hi This is just a sanity check really. I want to install a 4kW system in a building which has 3-phase supply. Assuming I keep the inverter under 16A are there likely to be any issue with the DNO (Western Power!) over only pumping it all down one of the phases? Thanks

    3-Phase Queries

    A 3KW, 3-phase, 230V motor draws approximately 13Amps (if my calculations are correct)............. I imagine this is the rating for each individual phase? What rating should I give my breaker? (Formula?) If I take two phases for my control circuit, which formula could I use to fuse my circuit?
