Why is voltage balance important in your three phase power?
 Learn the important of balanced load when operating your three phase equipment. With unbalance voltage you can shorten the life of your equipment.

 

Why is Voltage Balance Important in Three Phase Power?

Why is Voltage Balance Important in Your   Three Phase Power?

Voltage imbalance is the number one reason three-phase motors life is shorten. Voltage balance is the single most important factor in three phase power. Just a slight voltage imbalance can damage your motors.  Utility companies three phase service can give you up to a 12% voltage unbalanced and enough to harm three phase equipment. Many manufacturing and industrial businesses use devices to monitor phase balance to assure the protection of their motors and equipment.

Why is Voltage Balance Important in Your Three Phase Power - What Happens When the Voltage is Unbalanced?

When there is a voltage imbalance the temperature will rise significantly in the motor, which makes the motor run inefficiently and the rated horsepower of the motor must be derated.  In some cases the temperature will cause the motor to burn out all together and you will have to replace your equipment.  You should not have a imbalance greater then 5 percent. Sensitive electronic equipment, such as CNC machines will not tolerate an unbalanced voltage. 

Why is Voltage Balance Important in Your Three Phase Power - Phase Converters and Balanced Voltage.

Phase converters did have a bad name because they did not provide a balanced voltage. With modem technology, manufacturers have phase converter that can offer a balanced load with one percent.
