In an existing 3phase distribution panel, with only single phase loads (L-N) and (L-L), what is the best way to calculate that the loads are balanced?

For an existing panel, it might be simpler just to measure the neutral current.

To determine imbalance, you need to know the load on each circuit, then convert that to a phase current in each phase and sum up each phase.
