SUMMARY
The discussion centers on calculating the KVA delivered on a 3-phase feed for a building powered by a 600V supply. It is established that if the feed delivers 200A at 600V, this represents the maximum current available per phase, resulting in a total power capacity of 360 KVA. The calculation for power available to 120V and 208V loads is confirmed as 72 KVA, derived from the formula Power = 3 * 120V * 200A. The voltage supplied is clarified as 600V per phase, with 200A being the maximum current available.
