Formulas:
(line-to-line voltage) = SQRT(3)*(line-to-neutral voltage)
(apparent power per phase) = (apparent power)/3
(current per phase) = (apparent power per phase)/(line-to-neutral voltage)
(real power) = (apparent power)*(power factor)
(area in circular mils) = (diameter in mils)^2
(wire area in circ mils) = (wire length in feet)*10.371* (1 + 0.00393 * (wire temp in C - 20))/resistance
AWG(d)=(g1*log(d/d2) + g2*log(d1/d))/(log(d1/d2))
where d is in mils
d1 = 5
d2 = 460
g1 = 36
g2 = -3
