if you read all three phases with a clamp on amp meter, they should be just about the same. So, yes, it's fine to add the three together and divide by 3 to get the exact average, but really, they should be so close to the same that it doesn't matter. Then you must take that number and multiply by 1.732 to get the real amp draw.

When do you have tides?

Higher-than-average "spring" tides occur at the new moon and full moon phases. Lower-than-average "neap" tides happen at the quarter-moon phases.


How do I calculate the watts used by a service panel using the amps of the three phases do I sum the current and multiply by the voltage or do I average the 3 phases' current x V x 1.73?

Sum the current and multiply by the line to ground voltage. Never use the phase to phase voltage unless you're dealiing with a dedicated load using all three phases like a 3 phase motor.

What is power factor of resistor?

A resistor doesn't have a power factor. However, if a circuit is pure resistance in nature the power factor will be one when a voltage is applied and a current flows in the circuit. The power factor is a measure of the relative phases of the current and voltage in a circuit.
