I have a MEP-805a and recently bought a Square D NEMA N4X circuit breaker panel with 100 amp, 2 pole interior. The rating is 104 amps at 120/208 volts, 52 amps at 250/416 volts. But thats 3 phase. My understanding is I just need to use 2 of the 3 phase (legs) to get single phase (I know it's unbalanced without a load bank of some sort).
My primary question is when going from 3 phase to single phase, there is a 30% reduction in KW. So this generator is basically a 21 KW genset at single phase. When dropping a leg for single phase, what is the amperage for 208? I'm looking at running both 3 phase and single phase to 2 different circuit breaker panels.
I bought a 100 amp 22Kva, 2 pole breaker and now that I'm about to buy the wiring, I'm wondering if perhaps I bought the wrong breaker/panel.
3 phase to single phase is something I'm fairly new to. I've been doing a little research, but as usual, theres a bunch of conflicting information out there.
Thanks.
