Hi. please advice on the following. My generator is Stamford /Newage 125 KVA, 415/240 Volts, 174 Amps, 1500 rpm, pf 0.8. I want to build a load bank comprising heating elements each of which is rated at 6 Amps. I have a total of 36 such elements. I have divided them into three groups. My problem is this : should I wire each group of 12 elements directly with a neutral and a phase wire or should I wire all three groups in star? Or what is the correct way to supply a purely resistive load from this generator?

Thanks in advance.
