Neutral heating from in-phase triplen currents calculator

Resistive neutral-conductor heating is calculated as (3 × I3)² × R_N. Use the stated system boundary and matching input units.

PN=9×I32×RNP_{N} = 9 \times I_{3}^{2} \times R_{N}

Worked example

Given

  • I3I_{3} = 15 A
  • RNR_{N} = 0.1 ohm
PN=9×152×0.1=202.5P_{N} = 9 \times {15}^{2} \times 0.1 = 202.5
