Single Phasing effect on heater
Single Phasing effect on heater
(OP)
What is the effect of single phasing on a 480vac, 3 phase, delta connected heater, fed from a 480vac, wye connected source with a fused disconnect switch? Would the remaining two legs see an increase in current, and cause damage to the heater; or would it just lower the output of the heater?
Thanks
Thanks

I have seen this but it is not a good design and hence not common.
