A 3ph load of 10 KW is equal to how many KW of single phase .

Answer Posted / abdul rahman

Your question is wrong !! 
KW value does not change with 1-phase or 3-phase
1-phase power = V x I x power factor
V= 220/230v pf = usually 0.8
3-phase power = root 3 x V x I x power factor
V= 400/415v pf=0.8-1
Current value varies in both.
The only thing that matters is the load current.
If the load is less say upto 5-7Kw single phase is used because the cable sizing for such a load in single phase would be economical whereas if they load is greater than that say around 25kw it is better to divide the current in three phases.

why do motors burn out? I understand why adding parallel loads to a power source means more current moves through the circuit, and can destroy circuit elements by overheating. What about when you have a vaccuum cleaner intake flush against a floor, a room fan sitting directly against a wall, or a power drill trying to drill through something too hard?
