To balance a wye system you have to find the wattage connected to each breaker on each of the three phase legs. Total the wattages of the three individual phases legs. The difference in wattage is the unbalanced load. Then is is just a matter of deciding which breaker load should be moved to another leg to try and make all three legs as equal as possible. Working with an off and on again load wattage is sometimes hard to do because at certain times some of the loads will not be on. You should be able to get close but never right on. The only time you will ever get a completely balanced load is if the load is three phase resistance heating.

Is there an advantage of having a neutral wire in an unbalanced electrical system?
A neutral wire is essential in a three-phase star (or wye) connected system supplying an unbalanced three-phase load. Without a neutral, the voltage across each of the loads may become unbalanced, too.

Effect of unbalanced load in three phase system?
Unbalance. Large amounts of unbalanced current can cause negative sequence and ground relays to operate. There are many problems that result from "too much" unbalance. Understand that no system is perfectly balanced, though. <><><> If the load is balanced there will be no current flowing in the neutral. For that reason a neutral wire is sometimes not connected to a balanced three phase load. An unbalanced load will cause neutral current to flow, if a neutral is connected. due to unbalanced load ,some current will flow through the neutral wire.hence due to I^2R losses voltage drop will occur in neutral.so the voltage regulation will decrease.

In WYE 480VAC each leg to neutral is equal to how many volts?
In WYE 480 VAC each leg to neutral is equal to 277 volts. 480 / 1.73 (sq root of 3) = 277.
What is the difference between a phase to ground connection and a grounded wye connection?
A 'grounded-wye' connection describes a wye-connected supply, whose star-point (or common point) is grounded. This is essential in order to ensure stable phase voltages. I'm not sure what you mean by a 'grounded-phase' connection; if you mean a 'grounded-line' connection, then this is a short-circuit to ground from a line conductor.
What are the applications of milliman's theorem?
One application is to determine the neutral current in an unbalanced wye (star) connected load.
What is wye?
A wye is any object shaped similar to a letter Y, especially a Y-shaped connection of three sections of road or railroad track.
What is the difference between an open delta and an open wye connection?
An open delta connection is a delta connection with one phase removed, but still supplied with three line conductors. An open wye is a wye connection with one phase removed, supplying a three line conductors and a neutral conductor. An open-delta/open-wye is a method of providing a reduced-load three-phase supply using just two single-phase transformers, rather than the preferred method of using three single-phase transformers.
Is there an advantage of having a neutral wire in an unbalanced electrical system?
A neutral wire is essential in a three-phase star (or wye) connected system supplying an unbalanced three-phase load. Without a neutral, the voltage across each of the loads may become unbalanced, too.
How can you terminate a 3 wire wye motor to a 3 phase delta connection?
To terminate a 3 wire wye motor to a 3 phase delta connection you need a 3 phase transformer to convert from delta to wye. Do not lift the common neutral connections inside the motor and rewire for delta, because the voltages will be wrong.
What is a wye?
A wye connection referring to electrical connections is where one end of the three coils of a three phase system are joined together and usually grounded. The three phase supply voltage is then connected to the other ends of these coils. In electrical terminology it is also known as a star connection.
Power a 415volt motor with 480volts?
in low voltage connection in wye (star conncetion) 415v high voltage connection in delta 480v
What is the reason motor runs delta connection?
Motor run delta connection because in delta connection it is less ampere needed and it sometimes it change the wye connection because of the available suply
How do you get line to neutral voltage form line to line voltage especially when there is unbalance in line to line voltage?
It is highly unusual for the supply system's line voltages to be unbalanced as the source is considered to be an infinite bus. On the other hand, it is not in the least unusual for the line currents to be unbalanced, as they are determined by the load. If a unbalanced star (wye) connected load has no neutral, then the phase voltages will become unbalanced.
How will the speed and the slip of the motor change with increasing load in star wye and delta connection?
the speed decrease if increasing load..in star connection the speed lower
What is the star point of a CT?
The term, 'star point', refers to the common point of connection for the three windings of a star-connected (wye-connected) transformer connection. The star point is usually earthed (grounded) and provides the neutral point of the connection.
