I have an existing 3phase panel fed with #6cu and protected by a 60amp 3pole breaker, this is to power a walk in cooler and walk in freezer. There is 2 single phase condensor's and one 3phase, when figuring total load do you use the 3 phase multiplier.
 
Are the single phase 240 or 120?
If they are 240 then one of the phases will have both single phase loads plus the three phase load on it.
e.g.
A=240 + 3ph
B=240 + 240 + 3ph
C= 240 + 3ph

You'd need to size for what would be connected to B.
 
I have the following

Unit#1 - 3phase
A-2231
B-2231
C-2231
Unit #2 A-2276
B-2276
Lights C-360
Outlet A-360
Outlet B-180

How would you come up with total connected load and show on panel schedule

I found this in the internet. Try punching in your data and see the results.

Can't tell for certain what your loads are. While you end up with VA for each line, we don't know how you arrived at those numbers. Perhaps the following assumption will demonstrate why...

Unit1 19A 208V 3? = 6845VA
Unit2 11A 208V 1? = 2288VA
Lights 3A 120V 1? = 360VA
Outlet 3A 120V 1? = 360VA
Outlet 1.5A 120V 1? = 180VA


?A
?B
?C
Unit1
2282
2282
2282
Unit2
1144
1144
Lights
360
Outlet
360
Outlet
180



As you can see your loads would be better balanced with all the 120V loads on ?C.
