DISTRIBUTING SINGLE PHASE LOADS ON 3 PHASE GENERATOR
A residential apartment has the following electrical equipment
(1) Air conditioners 0.8kva 240v 12 nos
(2) Electric cooker 2kva 240v 3nos
(3) Fluorescent fittings 40va 240v 30 nos
The above loads are to be powered by a 3 phase (415v/240v) generator by distributing the loads equally on the phases and neutral of the generator.
Each phase of the generator will have
4 air conditional plus 1 electric cooker plus 10 fluorescent fitting
(4x0.8) + (1x2) + (10x 0.04)
=5.6kva.
i.e.
PH (A) =5.6kva
PH (B) =5.6kva
PH(C) =5.6kva
Base on the above, do 1 use 5.6kva as the bases to getting the right size of generator or 16.8kva (5.6x 3).
Kindly advice.
please I need answer to this problem for me to reach a conlusion on the correct method of adding loads 0n 3phase network.
