Not enough information. You didn't specify the amount of kW - and you really can't calculate that, just from the volts. Once you know the amount of kW (which is a unit of power), you still need to multiply by time to get energy. Then you can do the appropriate conversion to BTU, which is also an energy unit.

Diagram of 3-phase electric meter base?

I'm unable to draw diagrams, but a typical 3-phase electric meter base will have three current transformers for measuring the current in each phase, and three voltage terminals for measuring the voltage across each phase. Each phase will have a connection point for the load wires coming from the main electrical panel. Additionally, there will be output terminals for connecting to the utility company's power lines.


Convert single phase to three phase formula?

One common method to convert single phase to three phase power is by using a rotary phase converter. The rotary phase converter works by using a single-phase power source to generate a third phase, creating a balanced three-phase output. It typically involves using capacitors and an electric motor to create the additional phase needed for three-phase equipment.


Why would three phase be used instead of single phase?

Three phase electricity is used instead of single phase for industrial situations. Industries use three phase electricity instead of single phase to operate electric motors driving heavy machinery. Three phase electrical motors produce more power from the same amount of electricity and maintain steadier speed. Small portable motors such as drills and mixers use single phase. Motors used around the house are single phase. Motors used to run large industrial machines use three phase.


On an 50A circuit should you be able to turn all of three of your electric heaters on at the same time without tripping the main breaker?

It depends on the power draw of each electric heater. Make sure to check the amp rating of each heater and ensure that the total amperage of all three heaters does not exceed the circuit's 50A capacity to prevent tripping the main breaker.


Where are three phase transformer systems used?

Any where that a three phase supply distribution is needed to operate three phase equipment.

Does a two phase heater need a two phase thermostat?

Most electrical equipment are either designed to work on Single phase (two wires) or Three Phase (three or four wires). Two phase equipment are non existent today. A single phase heater will require a single phase thermostat while a three phase heater will require a three phase thermostat.


If I use a three phase electric ac and heater is it more economical that using a 3 phase gas ac and heater?

Well, as far as I know, there is no 'gas' A/C. The A/C will be electric, regardless of the type of heat used. Whether electric heat or gas heat would be more economical is really dependent on your electric and gas utility rates and the efficiency of the appliances involved.


Do you need a neutral to install 480 volts 3 phase heater?

If the heater is rated as a 3 phase 480 volt heater then a neutral is not needed. If the voltage stated is 277 volts three phase then a neutral is needed.


Is 380 volts electric motor a single phase or 3 Phase?

It is probably a three phase 50 Hz motor.


Can a 240 volt single phase load connect between the high leg and regular phase leg of delta connected three phase system?

yes but voltage will be out a little.This ok for something like a heater which wont care.But for an electric motor starting and overheating maybe a problem.In the US this would be 220v single phase and 208 volts 3 phase.


Is three phase induction motor continue running when any of the two phase is disconnected?

This question doesn't really make any sense - any of the two phase? A three phase induction motor requires 3 phases to start - if a single phase is lost while the motor is already running then yes the motor will continue to run. A three phase motor will not start if it is missing a phase.


Single phase to three phase conveter for driving three phase motor using single phase?

This inverter is the cheapest and always available from famous vendors like ROCKWELL ,ABB, SIEMENS ,SCHNEIDER ELECTRIC....etc .


Reverse running of three phase meter?

The reverse running of a three phase meter is possible when one of the meter's two potential coils fails. This is a problem found typically on a Delta service. A three phase meter in this condition is damaged and will report lower energy use than actual.


What are the applications of three phase to single phase electric power distribution systems?

All high-voltage distribution systems are three-phase. Single-phase 'spurs' off the main line, supplying, for example, farm houses, are simply two lines of a three-phase system.


Do you change the high leg if your three phase motor is running in reverse?

yes


What is circuit breaker rating when electric load of a machine is 11.5 kW?

This question cannot be answered as asked. you would need to know also the voltage and phasing. Assuming we are dealing with 120-volt, single phase, 11,500 watts would be 55-running amps. Assuming we are dealing 208-volts, three phase, 11,500 watts would be 32 running amps and assuming we are dealing with 250-volt three phase, 11,500 watts would be 26.5 running amps. I hope I have answered your question.


How can you tell if you have a gas or electric water heater?

Read the label. A gas heater will have three plumbing pipes connected.One is a gas supply. An electric heater will only have two plumbing pipes but it will have an electical conduit or electrical wire feed line.
