[QUOTE="boltonsparky, post: 335899, member: 4678"] Hi all. My understanding of 3phase with a neutral was that the neutral conductor carried any imbalance in load between the 3 phases. So would I be correct in thinking that with a device like this (32a 3phase input and 3x 32a single phase outputs) [URL="http://s695.photobucket.com/user/urban_04/media/1852_zpsdf54128f.jpg.html"][IMG]http://i695.photobucket.com/albums/vv315/urban_04/1852_zpsdf54128f.jpg[/IMG][/URL] with a 32a 3 phase input you can safely pull 32 amps off each of the 32a single phase plugs without over loading the neutral conductor to the 32a 3 phase socket that this device is being fed from. the actual loading will be L1 5kW L2 5kW L3 2.5kW which by my reckoning makes the neutral conductors load 11a. Or with a device like this will it be sending 55a (total load of all 3 phases) down the neutral conductor? (calculations are rounded up so not exact) [/QUOTE]
