Just curious -
Is there any standard of parameters for balancing three phase panels? :-?
I have a situation where there are several three phase panels, between 20-32 circuits each, no motors on any circuits of the panels (lots of lighting and various fourplex receptacles for general use), but the volt-amps per phase are not even close. Is there a standard, say within 10%, or 20%, or whatever %, of each phasevfor balancing the load?
Existing has Phase A at 2250 VA, Phase B at 7500 VA, and Phase C at 8950 VA.
I have found nothing in the 2005 NEC, which is enforced here.
Thanks for your help!
