I need some help wrapping my head around something I saw recently. In a nutshell, there was a 3P breaker (208Y/120 3PH) feeding two separate heat trace circuits. Phase A and B was wired to the first heat trace, and the second heat trace was wired B to C. The question I have is, what is the current on B phase? Looking at these as two independent single phase loads, it looks like you would have the same magnitude entering and leaving B phase for a net result of 0? Is that correct? Are there any issues with this application?
Thanks!
Thanks!
