    Calculating 208V load, purpose of sqrt(3) and power factor?

    But it does bring to light what seems to be the crux of my confusion. My little chart showed 3 lights and the legs that it would be using to get 208v. Horizontally is a unit and the columns show the amp draw for that leg. ......leg X.....leg Y.....leg Z Unit 1...11amp...&...11amps Unit...

    Sorry, you missed I'm an idiot and on very little sleep. Thanks for your patience.

    Calculating 208V load, purpose of sqrt(3) and power factor?

    Thank you for your response. Just a follow up. You list 33amp *sqrt3 = 57amps per leg. why 33amp to start? Power Distro wiring would distribute power as: Leg X...leg Y...leg Z 11a...11a ...11a...11a 11a.....11a It wouldn't be 22a * sqrt 3 = 33amp per leg Where did the additional 11amps...

    Calculating 208V load, purpose of sqrt(3) and power factor?

    Hi all, a pretty simple question. I want to be able to calculate the load on a 100amp 3 phase service. As an example if I have 9 lighting fixtures that are rated @ 11 amps 208v each (auto ranging 200-240v actually but service will be 3 phase so 208v ish) Putting evenly across each leg x,y,z...
