Hi, all:
I am a programmer who got laid off, now I am trying to be an electrician. I know some of the physics about electronic. But in real life, there is a lot of which I don't know.
For example, I understood that 3 phases has 3 wires. But, why is single phase can have 2 wires, are they synch or asynchronous???
I dunno that you guys can answer this. If I am pulling 3 phases (A, B, C + W) 600 Amp power into a panel, does it means I can have total of 600 Amp breakers on each hot? Or I can only have total of 600 Amp breakers on all 3 hot wires??? (not consider about cont. load, you know, the 125%/80% stuff, or any other variations)
