I was just thinking about this scenario. Technically a 200A 3 phase panel load capacity is capable of supporting a 200A single phase load. Assuming the electrical panel can support a sub-feed 2 pole type 200A breaker. Also assume there is other loads on the panel for a total of 10KVA made out of 120V single pole circuits. Wouldn't this be an issue since phase A and B will be pulling close 200A and then you take into consideration tha 120V 1 pole breaker load amperage on phase A and B will add to the amperage of 200Amps or more, wouldn't this exceed the panel 200A ratings and trip possible the main breaker...... even though the panel capacity is capable?
Have you run into this situation?
Thank you
