When calculating the total power of a 120V panel with just lights and receptacles in the panel would you multiply by sqrt 3 even though the loads are purely resistive?
Yes, if "A" is three phase amperes, i.e. the same or maximum magnitude of amperes on all three ungrounded feeder conductors.If a 3 phase panel with 3 120V lines and a neutral suppling the panel and there are only lights and receptacles in the panel wouldn't you calculate the total VA by sqrt 3*V*A
