This document contains calculations for a 3-phase electrical system with line voltages of 230V. It summarizes the calculated and actual loads on each line, which are around 50-60A. It also details the line resistances and calculates that the touch voltage from metal parts to earth would be around 7V. A separate single-phase system calculation is shown with a circuit voltage of 230V and load of 16A, used to determine ground and body voltages of 144V given resistances of the circuit components.
