Sorry Phil. I could not help it.

Hi

I see the humor LOL

That’s the power company line voltage. That’s how AC works take a high voltage like that and when you transform it down to 240V you get a lot of amperage while the2.4KV line side would probably be less than 1/2 amp to support a 240v 100 Amp service.

I would have to do some math to see just what the draw of 240v 100 amps service would be for a 2.4KV supply.

By the way all of my post assumes a resistive load only. When you get into reactive, conductive and power factor the numbers do change and I would guess that even if you pulled all the 50 amps on an RV you would still have a small amount on the neutral but not much.
