You are spending way to much time creating 'simple to understand' analogies for things that are not similar.
I think you would be better off understanding the mathematics behind 3-phase wye connected circuits. After you grasp the formulas you can move onto
In engineering school we spent 9 months on 3-phase AC circuits before we studied single-phase 3-wire, yet that is where you want to start.
Hello Mr. Dungar and all of the great contributors on this stellar forum.
I do understand the math I have been exposed to. However I believe if you really really grasp the subject it should be a wonderful mental challenge to develop a lucid abstraction for non analytical laymen that would enhance their depth of knowledge.
That is the challenge I am putting out there for smart people like you who do understand their subject. I would be honored if you would go through the analogy I gave above and tell me why it is not useful or correct and lend me some guidance and help. If you can improve on it or present a totally different one I would be doing cartwheels.
My feeling is since no one gave me feedback directly on it, it must be totally deficient and even crazy. I have searched the web but cannot find a good answer. Feel free to start a new thread if you wish and I will contribute. Most electricians in the field are lost once you descend into the second or third level of detail. This I find very sad. This is just a genuine request, you do not have to reply since you owe me nothing. This is just a fun mental challenge that may help us all.
Do have a great Fourth......lots of celebration.
