Lighting (Maximum Number of Lamps Depending on the Power of each unit
Presentation of installations according to type of supply:

Single phase circuit, 230 V

3 phase circuit, 230 V

3 phase circuit, 400 V (with neutral)

Lighting (Maximum Number of Lamps Depending on the Power of Each Unit) Continued
The maximum number of lamps which can be operated per phase is equal to the total number of lamps in the "single-phase 230V" table divided by the square root of 3.

The maximum number of lamps which can be operated per phase is equal to the total number of lamps in the "single-phase 230V" table.
