    3-phase Amps to Wattage for Generator

    any ideas as to what can cause that, the only thing it does it comes from the generator/city power to a step down transformer? is it because we are going from 3-phase to single phase?

    3-phase Amps to Wattage for Generator

    Yes, full load and is 480V. So I just use the highest value? How do I balance the load, I know that the whole circuit is converted to single phase as currently we are not using any 3-phase but we are wanting to add a 3-phase a/c thus the calculation. Thanks for the help.

    3-phase Amps to Wattage for Generator

    I just amp'd our 3-phase service to one of our dedicated circuits to computer room at leg1(9.8)leg2(1.9)leg3(9.2) and wanted to size a generator for the service. Do I just take the highest amp reading and use that value to calculate the wattage(4700watts) or do I have to combine them or use a...
