    Need help with Delta Y transformer to make 3 phase.

    JR2, Busbar is correct.

Do you have 3-phase power available at your location? Is it far from the 25 hp?

    Need help with Delta Y transformer to make 3 phase.

    JR2, Each phase of 3 phase power is 120 degrees apart. you cannot make 3 phase power from a single phase without applying phase shift devices. Furthermore, keep in mind that even with phase shifting gear, you will take all the power from the single phase.

    3 hour flame test for cables

    Hello Everyone, Does anybody know what sets the time requirement for the 3 hour flame test of certain standards? For example a MIL-DTL-24643B requires this type of test. I'm interested what where the reasons of the 3 hours, why not 5hrs or 2hrs or other?
