Hi all,
i was wondering if anyone could help me here, i was wondering how i can split a 3 phase supply into single phases and get a neutral from it. im looking to run around 80 computers from a 3 phase supply and usually hire the distribution boards but was looking for a challenge and thought that i might be able to build it. im used to smaller electronics than mains (am doing electronic and computer engineering) but have "played" with mains before.
i was just wondering how you could make a 3 phase converter. and then what protection you need like a 4 pole RCD or MCBs? also as there is a fair bit of earth leakage from computers i didnt know if the rcd would keep tripping out.
Cheers for any help Sam
oh ps im in the UK (cambridge if anyone has a 3 phase distribution system they want to lend me for this weekend.)
