Unbalanced Voltage & Current: Causes, Effects & Solutions
At Elion Technologies, we specialize in identifying and mitigating issues related to unbalanced voltage and current in electrical systems. Our expertise ensures the longevity and efficiency of your equipment across various industries in India.
Understanding Unbalanced Voltage & Current
Unbalanced voltage occurs when the magnitudes of the phase voltages in a three-phase system are not equal or the phase angles differ from the ideal 120° separation. This imbalance leads to unbalanced current, causing inefficient operation and potential damage to equipment.
Causes of Unbalance
Common causes include:
- Uneven Load Distribution: Disproportionate loading across phases.
- Faulty Equipment: Malfunctioning transformers or capacitors.
- Loose Connections: Poor electrical contacts leading to voltage drops.
- Single-Phase Loads: Excessive single-phase loads on a three-phase system.
Effects on Electrical Systems
Unbalanced conditions can result in:
- Overheating: Excessive heat in motors and transformers.
- Reduced Efficiency: Increased losses leading to higher energy consumption.
- Equipment Damage: Premature failure of electrical components.
- Operational Disruptions: Unexpected shutdowns and maintenance issues.
