how does the current divide in a three phase system?

Question

So let’s say that I have a three phase system has a current absorption on 30A. Are these 30A divided 10 per phase or are these 30A per phase, which brings the total to theoretically 90A?

In: 1

Answer 1

If the machine states it draws 30A, then it’s 10A per phase. If you measure current on a single wire and it shows 30A, then it’s 30A per phase for a total 90A
