Hello, I live in Mexico, where I have a small, un-official trailer park on my property.
The property is serviced by my privately owned, 650amp transformer with two hot wires coming from the main lines on the highway. The transformer case is designed with a 3rd possible hot connection...
Hi all, just looking for an outside opinion on this.
A collegue and I are going to be installing 4 three phase EV chargers on a site. He's of the opinion that we will need to invert the phase at each charger in order to balance the load, i dont believe this is correct as equipment with 3 phase...
Was watching a YouTube video, a US guy singing the praises of the UK plugs and sockets.
One of the few drawbacks was about our use of rings and how they have to be carefully balanced.
Now, I may have missed this one but, how does one do that?
Yes you can design a circuit with even legs and...
I was speaking to an Electrician a few years back as he was balancing out a 3 phase supply.

I have worked on and carried out some testing on 3 phase installations in the past but have...
Hi all,
We're just quoting on 6 terraced cottages which are all owned by one landlord and rented out.
We're basically doing 6 different installs with 6 inverters, 6 strings etc but all panels laid out next to each other across the roof.
Does anyone know of a way we could load-balance the...
Hi All,
I'm new to this forum, so Greetings from Macclesfield in Cheshire :)
My first question for you to ponder, regards a client of mine who has aquired a commercial buiding with a 3 Phase supply and a meter.
Now - the building has obviously had several changes of use in its life time...
I find myself in the position of having to balance a 3phase domestic installation.
The supply comes into a large main house, with 16mm 3c swa to garage (incorporating 8kw sauna, snooker room with heating) and 25mm 3c swa to Pool House (incorporating kitchen, water boiler, water heater etc)...
