Voltage Unbalance
Voltage Swell from Recloser Operation
A recloser is most associated with brief voltage interruptions, possibly followed by an extended outage if a fault cannot be cleared. Upstream customers experience voltage sag during the reclose attempts,…
Voltage Unbalance with Canvass
Voltages are rarely perfectly balanced in three-phase systems. Although small unbalances are not usually a problem, if this unbalance becomes too great then the unbalance can cause problems especially for…
Measuring Voltage Unbalance
Voltage unbalance can cause severe heating in motors and large DC power converters and an increase in harmonic currents. Fortunately unbalance is easy to measure with PMI recorders and ProVision…
