I am trying to make a 1-phase, 1-pole panelboard for a 28VDC system. Creating the distribution system was fine (Phase: Single; Config: None (forced); Wires: 2; L-L Voltage: None (forced); L-G Voltage: 2 . I can't get the panelboard to be only Phase A, it is treating the panel as a 120/240 residential panel with two phases.
I also am trying to create a rectifier by converting a transformer to the fit the new distribution system. It was successful except I would like either the rectifier or the 28VDC panelboard to return balanced loads across the 3 phases feeding the rectifier from the 120/208 panel.
Effectively here's what I have currently:
- (6) 500VA DC receptacles each with dedicated circuits to the 28VDC panel
- Panel shows Phases A and B; loads on ckts 1-6 (phase A total = 2000VA; phase B total = 1000VA)
- Phase loads carry up through system: A-2000VA, B-1000VA, C-0VA.
What I would like is the DC panel to be 1 phase for all ckts (3000VA total), and then the rectifier to balance the load between the three phases to the AC side so each phase sees 1000VA.
I've tried making the electrical connectors of each element/level in the DC system Power-Balanced, but that did not do the trick.
In summary, here are the two issues:
1) Can't get the panelboard to act behave as a 1-phase, 1-pole panelboard.
2) Can't balance the load from the rectifier into the 3-phase AC system.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
