Using the same formula, calculate amp draw for 3-phase WYE with 3 transformers, each connected to a 7200 volt Hot and Neutral.
The primary volts E1 is the same 7200 volts.
Let's say the main breaker is same 250 amps.
But
let's change the secondary voltage E2 to 480 volts commonly found in a
commercial 3-phase service. The turns ratio is 15:1 instead of 30:1
because 7200 divided by 480 equal 15.
This means primary amperage I1
is 250 amp divided by 15 = 16 amps. This means the 7200 volt power line
delivers 16 amps to the commercial building.
Except a 3-phase
service has 3 transformers instead of a single household transformer
... and each of the 3 transformers pulls power from a different Hot
wire on the 3-phase distribution ... so the commercial building pulls
16 amps from 3 separate Hot wires ... receiving 3 x 16 amps (3 Hot
legs) for each rotation of the generator, while residential single
phase receives 2 x 8 amps (2 Hot legs at 240 volt) for each
rotation of the generator. Meaning that 480 volt 3-phase delivers more
power to the commercial building than using single-phase. Plus, average
voltage for 3-phase never has two wires cross zero at same time, which
yeilds more power and higher efficiency, making it easier for the
generator to supply high voltage 3-phase service.
