Default shop electrical question


"Weyland" wrote in message

If all things are equal as far as usage, is it valid to assume that
since amperage ratings for three phase motors are about half that of
their single phase counterparts, that one's electric bill would be
correspondingly about half as well?

Just curious.

Thanks,

My 3-phase is 1/3 the bill with lighting at @$1,200 and all 3-phase
@$600...OUCH! There are 2 air conditioners on the split-phase that spike-up
the summer's bills. Is 3-phase lighting worth it?
