AC Current flow
in 120/240 V AC single phase three or four wire systems is frequently
misunderstood. This technical brief goes through a step by step process of
adding one load at a time to a 120/240 V AC system and looking at the resulting
current flows.
There is an
assumed understanding of basic DC theory, Ohms Law (V=IR), the Power Law (P=VI)
and Kirchhoff’s Voltage and Current Laws.
1.The sum of the voltage rises equals the sum of
the voltage drops around any closed loop.
2.The sum of the currents entering a junction
equals the sum of the currents leaving the junction.
