Balanced current standard
Balanced current standard
(OP)
Is there a USA or European standard to be followed in order to prevent an unbalance of current in a building installation?
I have a "lot" of signle phase electrical computer equipment to connect to a 220VAC/240VAC utility supply. Each device consumes 300W of input power and I need to install 500 devices. (150KW). If I install all 500 devices onto one of my signle phase lines, then have I broken any building installation requirements?

Codes only cares for saftey not functionality. Meeting Code is a necessary (statutary) requirement but not a sufficient requirement. For example, a reversed wired motor may meet the Code but will not do the job its supposed to do.
So, use you good judgement. The 10% figure is a well accepted figure, based on sound judgement of people who had the experience before , it is worth something.
