Hello,
I was wondering if I was right in my calculation.
1.
I will use a simple example to make it more simple.
Let's say I have 9 moving lights at 1000watts each on a 120/208v system. If all the units were well balanced on the distro and work on 208v. I am not taking the Power Factor in condideration here.
1000w x 9 = 9000w
9000w / 208v = 43.26a
43.26a x 1.73 = 74.84a
74.84a / 3 = 25a
i would need 25a on each legs of my power system.
If well balanced, my neutral would technically show 0 amp ( technically ) .. If not well balanced, hot am I calculating the power coming back on the neutral ?
2.
On the same kind of power system, I have 4 Lekos 750w working under 120v
As I couldn't balance the system perfectly, I would have 1 leg presenting 12.5amp and the 2 others at 6.25amp.
How can I calculate the power that would go through my neutral cable?
Thanks
