3 Phase Motors-Unbalanced Voltage and Current Analysis Unbalanced motor currents in 3 phase motors are always a concern. Is the problem with the motor, the utility system, or both? How much unbalance is tolerable?
|
| Voltage Unbalance Check Sheet | |
| Problem | Solution |
| Blown fuse on power factor correction capacitor bank. | Locate and replace blown fuse |
| Uneven 1 phase load on 3 phase system. | Locate, and more evenly distribute 1 phase loads. |
| Unbalanced from the utility. | If serious unbalance exists, ask them to correct it. |
| Harmonic distortion. | Locate sources of harmonics, reduce or control the harmonics. |
