Hi,
I am designing an electrical system with 8 branches of loads and only last branch among them has three phase load of 1 H.P. motor. Here is the summary:
(1) Sum of all single phase (single phase load) currents: 17.43 amps
(2) For three phase motor of 1 HP, line current = 0.60 amps.
As three phase motor is a three phase load, in all R,Y,B phases a line current of 0.60 amps will flow. So, 0.6 amps shall be added in all R, Y and B.
(3) No 1 single phase current is:
0.73 (lamp, fan) +1.04 (computer) +0.87 (freeze)+1.14 (lamp, fan)+1.39 (lamp, fan, tv) +4.43 (geyser) +7.83 (air conditioning) = 17.43 Amps.
(4) R phase = 0.6+7.83 = 8.43 amps.
Y phase = 0.6+4.43 = 5.03 amps.
B phase = 0.6+1.39+1.14+0.87+1.04+0.73 = 5.77 amps.
(5) How to go for load balancing? As I understand, vector sum of currents Ir,Iy and Ib should be zero. But here, sum of R, Y and B phases has a considerable value to return from neutral.
