Would these be true statements regarding purely resistive or dc loads:
When using single-phase vs three-phase, the available power for a given 3ph load would be have to be increased 73.2%(.7320508)for the same load at single-phase.
10000/240=41.66
10000/240 X 1.732=24
24 X 1.732=41.66
?
A given load (resistive or dc) uses only 57.7% of the power it uses at single-phase that it does at three phase.
10kVA load @ 240V,1ph =41.66A
10kVA load @ 240V,3ph =24
41.66 X .577 = 24
?
I'm not young enough to know everything.
