are you saying that [(a*b) + (b*c) + (a*c)]gives the same answer as [(a+b)+(a+c)+(b+c)]?Thanks for the correction, however the way I wrote the formula and the way you told me is the right way are the same and will always result in exactly the same answer
You can't use the high leg for line to neutral loads so just forget about it. Treat the other two hots and the grounded conductor as if it were a single phase 120/240 volt system.So in a high leg 3 phase 4 wire delta system the neutral carries the highest imbalance between any 2 phases?
Other than the inadvertent ?plus? where it should have said ?times,? I would say they are the same. But that is because I read it as intending everything after the word ?minus? to have been included in the stuff you are subtracting.Originally posted by dok:. . . the way I wrote the formula and the way you told me is the right way are the same and will always result in exactly the same answer
and I do not attempt to apply any mathematical ?Distributive Property? or ?Associative Property.? You are not looking at a mathematical formula. You are looking at an English sentence that contains some math symbols. It would have been more clear if there were a set of brackets around the three terms. But I understood what was meant.Originally posted by dok: minus (a+b)+(a+c)+(b+c)
