So I'm opening a small brewery: Brewery Build thread
I just got off the phone with my electrical engineer and he said that the building has 3 phase 240v (rare I know) and that I can provide enough power for my 6 x 5500 watt heating elements with 2 x 50 amp plugs on 3 phase?
3 phase has always confused me. Do I have to change anything I am doing? He is going to provide everything to the plugs. From the plugs I was going to come into distribution blocks in my panel and then go to the SSRs and such.
So the real question here. Do I wire anything differently than I would for single phase other than accounting for the differences in amp draw?
Thanks!
