    3 phase furnace

    Hi guys, we have a 3 phase 415V 36kw furnace. Just wanted to know the fuse needed for each phase. we put a 40A fuse for each phase and 1 phase just blew when started firing it up. I tried to calculate the right fuse and I come up with 65A per phase? Is that right?

    3 phase power

    I work in Broadcast television as a broadcast systems designer. I have seen in recent months a trend that is worrying (not sure if it is legal) that in a 19" rack there could be several phases wired to power distribution outlets (normally via IEC connectors) This means it is imperative that...

    Single phase circuit on 3 phase system calc

    Hi, I have a query about calculating current in a 3 phase system. So a 22kw load in 3 phase assuming a power factor of 0.8 would be 22000/(1.732x400x0.8) = 39.69A and say a 7.2kw load on a single phase supply would be 31.30A if you simply use ohms law. But what happens when you calculate the...
