My Multiprise 2003/205 claims to want a pair of 3-phase inputs.
Is it assumed that those 2 x 3ɸ inputs are feed from different paths,
thus path redundancy? I'd think that the phases would be the same.
I've run it on two "phases" on a single side.
I have questions....
Where are you getting two /different/ phases? -- Remember, the
different legs on residential 120/240 wiring are really the same single
phase.
How do you get *two* /different/ phases without access to a *third*
phase? There are only a few places in the U.S.A. (and I'm not aware of
anywhere else in the world) that actually have 2ɸ power (where the ɸ are
90° out of phase with each other).
What is a phase vs what is a line comes into context here.
It bitches, of course,
I could see how wiring two legs of a 120/240 1ɸ as if it were 2 phases
of a 3ɸ supply would make something mad.
and one loses the intended redundancy, but it runs.
Indeed.
But if one is doing this, chances are fairly good that one is most
interested in the fact that /it/ /runs/ and cares much less about
/redundancy/. ;-)
