Three phase load, wye vs delta
Just for the kicks, I wanted to make a 60 kw load bank to test the
generator. I have three 20 kW electric heat strip elements. I wanted to connect them in a delta connection. This way, as I believe, I can get 60 kW out of the three phase generator (except that it is not capable of making 240v, only about 216, so it will be a little less than 60 kW). With a single phase connection (for my home generator), using only two terminals out of three, I would get 20 kW. Am I missing anything here? For a three phase connection, does it matter if the generator is wye or delta wound? i |
