I need some help calculating the circuit current for a 3 phase delta heater. The heater is rated 30KW and will be connected to 240 vac delta. Please check my calculations.

I(total) = 30KW/1.73X240= 72.3 A

assuming that the loads are balanced so the current should be L1=L2=L3

L1= 72.3/3= 24.1 A

power = 1.73*240*line current
line current=72.3 A -------from ur calculations
phase current(current in each phase) = line current/1.73= 41.72A
