@Chris15 - I know very little about Vectors. Thank you again for taking the time to reply to my post. With that said I agree with Derek.@derekleffew - Thats exactly what I was trying to figure out, the exact load per phase to make sure that it was A.) Balanced and B.) more importantly not...

Chris,Thanks again for taking the time to respond. I do own a Fluke 334. It works great but it doesn't help me when I am trying to balance my load when I have over 100 fixtures. This needs to be done in advance. I attached a PDF file as an example. in this example there are 5 x vl1000...

Derek,Thanks for Explaining this. I was already using this method to guestimate the total amps per fixture. It def. is an easy way to quickly find the total amps. Not all fixtures specs spell everything thing out in this way though. I was wondering if there was a mathematical way to get the...

Chris,Thank you for taking the time to respond to my post with the correct answer of spelling out the formula or equation. This makes a lot more sense then just replying with what the dictionary says power is.I do however have a question of how you would calculate the RMS. What is the...

Thanks JD for explaining this in technical terms but I really need to know how to calculate the example I gave with the two VL3000 fixtures. What is the formula or equation I should used to get me the total amps per leg. I also wanted to know if I was calculating how much amps a single fixture...

I am sure you have answered this question before. I searched for sometime here on CB but couldn't find the full answer.This is what I found here on CB posted by Derekleffew back in 2008"At 208V, moving all motors inside a VL3000Spot (never tested a 3500Spot) will only increase the current...

This all makes sense, but when I try to use the same formula using only 2 x VL3000 fixtures the total Amps per leg does not make any sense. I used Pual Pelletier's LD calculator to calculate the following. One VL3000 is pulling 11A on X and 11A on Y, The other VL3000 is pulling 11A on Y and 11A...
