At 7 MW power, it's most likely white metal bearings all through the drive system. Is it forced lube oil system with external pumps? If yes, you should have a battery operated DC motor lube oil system as a back-up since ac motor driven pumps lose power when the main motor loses power.

Thanks jghrist . Your calculation tracks what I measured at neutral. If I may ask, how did you arrive at 0, 119, 119 angles ?
waross - Input voltages are pretty much equal. It's regulation that is the issue. I had the utility guy measure the voltages at their transformer end, which is about 600...
Neutral current at low load was 2 Amps
jghrist - The angles between the phasors A1, A2 and A3? How would you plug in these angles in your Excel sheet?

Current phasor with full load
Voltage phasor with full load (75 to 80 V drop in voltage with full load. Utility has been informed about poor regulation)
3 phase current THD on full load (not much)
Measured neutral current 16 Amps with Fluke clamp-on.

Caveat. Today's readings at low loads of 40 Amps (not the previous ones).
Also, there is a voltage regulation problem from utility side (430 V on low load to 370 V on high load).
Current phasor (low load)
Voltage phasor (low load
Will post high load phasors later.

3 phase input RMS current waveform.
3 phase input THD current waveform
Do you see much of a phase angle difference here?
There are no 400 V (RY, YB or BR) single phase loads.
Only 3 phase air conditioners, UPS for computer systems, LED lights, fans.

dpc - Thanks. I use silver coating in our shop. Long time since I saw tinned copper.
waross - Yes, I know, I was the one who did the inversion (rather poorly) as an example of top termination.
FacEngr - Thanks. Logically, from the top termination does not pull the cable from the lug.
