Setting the Phase of Single-Phase Loads on Three-Phase Switchboards

Thursday, May 15th, 2014

Q: When connecting a single-phase load to a three-phase switchboard, how do you specify the phase the load should be connected to?

A: After you connect the load to the switchboard, select the circuit in the Circuiting dialog box. In the Circuit Information section, find the Starting Phase setting. By default, loads are set to phase A. Adjust it to a different phase as necessary.

Loads on Phases Change or Rotate in a Transformer

If the per-phase loads on your transformer do not match loads on the connected panel, a phase shift may be the reason.

Three-Phase Lighting Circuits

2-phase light fixtures can be connected to a 3-phase circuit using the Circuiting command.

Balancing Loads on Switchboards, UPSs, and Other Distribution Equipment

Single-phase loads on non-panel distribution equipment are circuited to phase A by default and must be moved manually to balance the loads.
