What is the maximum current unbalance of a 3 phase motor?

No standard prescribes permitted unbalance in current for induction motors. IEC 892/2002 however, specifies permitted unbalance in voltage as 1% at the motor terminal. It is deduced that 1% unbalance in voltage will result in 6% to 9% unbalance in current. This is, therefore, grid caused activity. However, there are load related activities, such as parallel connected single phase loads or shunt capacitors that may also influence unbalance in current across the main contactor. In large motors, sometimes, unbalance in current can be seen if the air-gap eccentricity is seen. In such cases the PF in 3 phases will be unbalanced.


What is the cause of fluctuation in amps and pf in a 6000hp syncrhonous motor?

When the line voltages of a polyphase motor induction motor are not equal, unbalanced currents in the stator windings will result. A small percentage voltage unbalance will result in a much larger percentage current unbalance. Consequently, the temperature rise of the motor operating at a particular load and percentage voltage unbalance will be greater than the motor operating under the same conditions with balanced voltages. NEMA Standards MG 1-1998, 12.46 recommends against operating a motor with a voltage unbalance greater than 1%. This will increase operating temperature, vibration, nuisance trips and failures.


What is the caused of unbalance of current during parallel running of two generator?

That depends on if the two machines are of equal KVA rating and also what type of Generator Control (Isochronous or Droop) each of the machines uses.


What is the impact of phase imbalance in electrical load?

Unbalance in three phase system puts quite a negative impact on the system and the three phase loads like motor. Motors tend to draw additional current for same power output, may increase noice, may increase heat generation.Over all losses go up in the system


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.
