To determine Three Phase Amperage, solve for

Single Phase first:

Wattage	= Single Phase Amps
Voltage

Then divide the Single Phase Amperage by 1.73 to determine Three Phase Amperage.

Example:

17,000W	=	70.833 Amps
240V		1.73

= 40.944 Amps per Phase

To compute the New Wattage Rating of an element if a different voltage is applied, use the following formula:

[NewOld VoltageVoltage ]2 X kW Listed

= New Wattage Rating

Example:

If 208V supply is applied to a 17 kW element rated for 240V, the calculation is as follows:

[	208V	] 2	X 17,000 Watts
	240V
= 12.77 kW
