The short answer is no.
The long answer is no, not if you are using standard 100-120 volt or 220-240volts found in most (all?) countries
The following is a simplified best case scenario, which incorrectly assumes a power factor of 1.
Power = Volts * Amps
Watts = Volts * AMPS (Actually VA = Volts * Amps, but VA=Watts in best case
scenario)
but 10kw > 240 * 32.

You can install up to four 50 amp single phase breakers on one phase of a three phase 200 amp panel, assuming the panel is balanced properly among the three phases. Each breaker will draw 50 amps of current, so be sure to consider the total load on the phase to prevent overloading.
At peak power it should draw 1.36 amp at power factor 1 or more realistically 1.7 amp at power factor 1.7.
Answer for USA, Canada and countries running a 60 Hertz supply service.On heating elements of higher wattage 240 volts is usually the working voltage. 10000/240 = 41.6 amps. A #8 copper wire with an insulation factor of 90 degrees C is rated at 45 amps. Code states that the conductor can only be loaded to 80% so 45 x .8 = 36 amps. A #6 copper wire with an insulation factor of 90 degrees C is rated at 65 amps. 65 x .8 = 52 amps. No. Power = Voltage X Current.....so a 10,000 watt heat strip will draw 10,000 watts / 120 volts = 83 ampsNot so fast.Actually, it depends on the manufacturers guidelines. My 10KW heat strip, in my hvac system, is rated ( by the manufacturer ) at 41.7 amps.8 AWG wire is rated at 40 amps. 6 AWG wire at 50 amps.I used 6 AWG wire and a 50 amp breaker. I passed the electrical inspection.
No, a single-phase oven cannot be wired to a three-phase circuit without a transformer. The electrical systems are incompatible and may result in damage to the oven or the circuit. It is recommended to use the appropriate circuit or consult with a licensed electrician for proper installation.
In a three-phase 225 amp panelboard, each phase will carry 225 amps. This means that the total current flowing through the panelboard is distributed evenly across the three phases, allowing for a maximum of 225 amps on each phase at a time.
Depending on the distro... you need to limit the output per phase. You can use 2 16amp and 1 32 amp per phase.Yes, IF the generator has overcurrent protection and each circuit on your distro is individually protected as well (most are). You will not be able to load the distro to it's full capacity of 125 amps (obviously), you will be limited by the genny's rated output.As always, if you are in doubt about what to do, the best advice anyone should give you is to call a licensed electrician to advise what work is needed.If you do this work yourself, always turn off the powerat the breaker box/fuse panel BEFORE you attempt to do any work ANDalways use an electrician's test meter having metal-tipped probes(not a simple proximity voltage indicator)to insure the circuit is, in fact, de-energized.IF YOU ARE NOT ALREADY SURE YOU CAN DO THIS JOBSAFELY AND COMPETENTLYREFER THIS WORK TO QUALIFIED PROFESSIONALS.
In the U.S. single phase at 200 amps is average.
You can install up to four 50 amp single phase breakers on one phase of a three phase 200 amp panel, assuming the panel is balanced properly among the three phases. Each breaker will draw 50 amps of current, so be sure to consider the total load on the phase to prevent overloading.
No; drawing more than the rated amperage from a transformer will cause it to overheat.
That is 20.8 kVa but a 208 v single phase supply is very rare. 208 v is usually three-phase, with 120v between neutral and the live wires.
16.81 amp.
Answer for UK, Europe and countries running a 50 Hz supply service.Common single phase meters for a 240 v system can take a 60 amp or sometimes a 100 amp load for domestic use.

You can't. Currents in three-phase systems are measured in each of the individual line conductors.
No, your amp draw will not be reduced. It will actually be slightly higher because the transformer will not be 100% efficient. Contact TEMCo Phase Converters at (800) 613-2290 if you have any more questions.
500 mcm (or 500kcmil) conductors are used for 400 amp 480v single phase or 3 phase systems. The wire AND THE TERMINALS must be rated for 90o Celsius.
Answer for USA, Canada and countries running a 60 Hertz supply service.A single phase service runs about ten dollars an amp. Permits and inspections included. Connection fees to the electrical utility company are the responsibility of the homeowner.
