So....sorta off the subject but then again....it is kind of on... Pin&sleeve connectors for a 3 phase w/ground. This is a four wire connector, the ground connection is noted, but is there a standard for the other three pins? Phase 1 on pin x. I am thinking not, and other than for load balancing.... Which brings up another question. Here is a quote from an email.... "it (a power distribution unit) has an input of 3-Phase WYE 30A / Phase or a total of 90A @ 120V L-N. When you have 208V outputs you must go L-L (IE X-Y, Y-Z, Z-X). In this case you see that the same line gets used in two different sections. So each section then only has 15A (or 45A total @ 208VAC)" Is this really true.....or can each pair of legs provide 30A since they are all out of phase? Consider the source more than capable of providing 30A continious. >From: Nigel Orr >Reply-To: pic microcontroller discussion list >To: PICLIST@MITVMA.MIT.EDU >Subject: Re: [EE:] Country List of Mains Connectors and voltages >Date: Tue, 22 Jun 2004 17:04:32 +0100 > >pic microcontroller discussion list <> wrote: > > Hmmm, the ground is missing on all drawings on the shuko > > connector used here in Sweden, Germany, etc most of Northern > > Europe.
