simply four but also aplying diversity they may be increased depending on situation
It depends upon how many slots are in the panelboard. Divide this number by three and that will give you the amount of breakers that can be installed.What is the Amperage of the panel? Will these circuits all be running at the same time? There is space to allow (14) but there are a lot of other things to consider.
Most of the breakers in a panel will be 120 VAC. Double height breakers are 240 VAC. A triple height breaker probably indicates you have 3-phase power in the panel.
yes we can use as a single phase circuit because at practise directly the 3-phase circuit is made by combining the three single phase circuits
120 /208 any phase will give 120 to neutral its better to pick different phases for all the 120v loads if a b and c are all balanced there is no current in the neutral the neutral is usually undersize because its not expected that all the single phase loads will be on one phase panel breaker numbers ... Phases 1 - 2 a 3 - 4 b 5 - 6 c 7 - 8 a 9 - 10 b 11-12 c 1 3 5 is identical to 2-4-11 it would be very hard to randomly get all the single phase loads on one phase putting random combinations of 1 2 and 3 pole breakers in a panel but you dont need to gamble
Answer for USA and Canada power supply service. Electrical panel layout might explain where the two numbers come from on a single phase installation On a electrical panel boards the wiring numbers go from left to right, top to bottom. There are 2 hot legs coming into the panel. L1 and L2. Breakers on L1 are 1,2,5,6,9,10. Breakers on L2 are 3,4,7,8,11,12. This is a 12 circuit board. This configuration allows every two adjacent breakers to connect to 240 volts. Example 1 and 3, 3 and 5, 5 and 7, 7 and 9, 9 and 11. Same with the even number side. So you see that a two pole breaker connects across the two hot legs L1 and L2 no matter where it is on the panel board. Any of these breakers on a panel board to the neutral will give you 120 volts no matter if the supply leg is L1 or L2. Just remember L1 to Neutral equals 120 volts, L2 to Neutral equals 120 volts, L1 to L2 equals 240 volts. The amperage of a breaker is a limit of the amount of amperage it will allow to pass before it will trip. The wire has to be the right size for the breaker. Under sized wire will heat up if more current is applied to it that its rating will allow.
Your incoming 208V 3 phase power supply will also need an incoming neutral of the same conductor size. Then any single pole breaker installed in the panel will have 110 volts to the neutral. That is you can run 208V 3 phase motor circuits from a three phase breakers in the panel and any number of 110V circuits from single pole breakers.

If you have single phase now, you have two options. One, is to install a three phase service or Two, install a roto phase device.
If there is no neutral available you cannot, unless you use an autotransformer and derive a neutral. A panel with no neutral is called a power panel and is used to supply 240 single and three phase loads.
If you are referring to the 25KW Power Distribution Panel used by the military, NSN: 6110-01-244-3209, there are four 120VAC, 20A circuit breakers and four corresponding twist lock receptacles.
You will need to install a phase converter or change the motor to single phase. You can find a licensed electrician at www.contraxtor.com

If the single line is compared to another single line and the voltage that you need is correct then you are looking as a singly phase supply. The electrical classification of single phase is that any two legs of a three phase supply can be called single phase. Look on the nameplate of the distribution panel. There it will state what the panel is, either single phase or three phase. Look at where the distribution enters the building from the utility supply. If there are three insulated conductors (red, black and blue) wrapped around a bare aluminium messenger wire it is a three phase wye connection service. If you see two black insulated conductors wrapped around a bare aluminium messenger it is a single phase service.
Single phase loads can go as high as the connected device requires. Of course the higher you go with the load , so goes the equipment to support it. Larger wires sizes, breakers etc..
The size-breakers for a Hobart P660 mixer with 8.6amp pull and 3 phase is the 23.43-inch size breakers.
three phase would be cheaper for running motors are more efficient single phase is only used for small motors and loads where operating economy is not a concern
