A balanced three phase load is where the current flowing in all three phases of the load are reasonably close to each other.

Another answer

When the voltage and measured current draw do not deviate by more than 2 percent under load.

Answer

A balanced three-phase load is one in which each of the three loads is identical in all respects (magnitude and phase). Further to the first answer, the three line currents must not all be 'reasonably close', they must be identical -i.e. the same value and phase relationship.

What is the effect of an unbalanced load of generators?

An unbalanced load prevents the generator delivering its maximum power. That is because each phase has an equal upper current limit that it can deliver, and in an unbalanced system, if one phase is delivering the rated current it follows that the others are not.


Does the change in the load resistor change the current in the arms of an unbalanced bridge?

No


What significance has a power factor in an unbalanced system?

A three-phase 'unbalanced' system refers to the load, as the supply voltages are unaffected by load. So the phase-angle and, therefore, the power factor of each phase will be different -i.e. there will be three different power factors.

The electrical term for this condition is called an unbalanced load.


How do you balance the unbalanced load in 3 phase?

If the load is connected in wye (star) and it has a neutral, then the vectorial-difference of the phase currents will flow in the neutral and there will be no problem. On the other hand, if there is no neutral, then an unbalanced load would cause unbalanced phase voltages.


What are the Effects of unbalance loading on kWh meter?

You are, presumably, talking about an unbalanced three-phase load. The answer is no, because the wattmeter takes unbalanced loads into account.


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.


What is the difference between Kilowatt Meter with balanced load and with unbalanced load?

'Balanced loads' apply to three-phase a.c. loads. A three-phase kilowatt hour meter will measure both balanced and unbalanced loads, when correctly connected.
