3-Phase Wiring Diagrams and Equations for Resistive Heaters
Definitions
For Both Wye and Delta
(Balanced Loads)
VP = Phase Voltage
VL = Line Voltage
IP = Phase Current
IL = Line Current
R = R1 = R2 = R3 = Resistance of each branch
W = Wattage
Wye and Delta Equivalent
WDELTA = 3 WWYE
Open 3-Phase Circuit Formulas:
Open Delta Watts = 2/3 WDELTA
Open Wye Watts = 1/2 WWYE
Open 4-wire Wye Watts = 2/3 WWYE

IP = I L
VP = VL/1.73
WWYE = VL2 /R = 3 (VP2)

IPO = I LO
VPO = VL/2
WOWYE = 1/2 ( VL /R)
WOWYE = 2 (VPO2/R)
WOWYE = VLILO

3-Phase
Delta
(Balanced Load)
IP = I L/1.73
VP = VL
WDELTA = 3(VL2)/R
WDELTA = 1.73VLIL
