Balancing single-phase loads
A three-phase load such motor has equally balanced phases since the
resistance each phase winding will the same. after this point that reach the consumer’s installation. The important relationship between
phase and line currents and voltages also shown.6. When connecting single-phase loads to
a three-phase supply, care should taken distribute the single-phase
loads equally across the three phases that each phase carries approxi-
mately the same current.Polyphase three-phase electrical systems
