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.

Core balance ct?

CBCT used to protect the motor winding from unbalance load it is install on the cable ,in normal balance conditions the sum of the three phase current is zero so secondary current of the ct also zero .when ever unbalance occurs then this unbalance current will flows through the ct then relay sense and trip motor


What are the causes for unbalance of currents of a 3 phase a c motor?

The main causes for unbalance of currents in a 3-phase AC motor include unequal voltage levels in the power supply, asymmetrical impedance in the motor windings, and uneven mechanical loads on the motor shaft. These imbalances can lead to overheating, efficiency loss, and potential damage to the motor components. Regular maintenance and monitoring can help identify and address these issues.


What you basically want is will each phase take 26 Amps current for 15HP 3 phase 415VAC motor?

Yes, for a 15HP 3-phase 415V AC motor, each phase will draw approximately 26 Amps of current when running under normal operating conditions. This results in a total current draw of 26 Amps per phase for the motor.


How does the 3-phase induction motor acts like 2-phase induction motor if a phase is disconnected from supply?

yes the motor will run but will draw more current and the torque will be not constant means not smooth due to unbalanced current


How field current change in 'V and inverted v curves ' of synchronous motor?

In v curves armature current decreases in under excitation and increase in overexcitation as fielcurrent increases and armature current is maximum at unity power factor.The power is maximum when load angle is equal to impedance angle.A linear motor is a essentially a multi phase


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 many percent will be the starting current for motor?

Motor starting current is typically 5-7 times the rated current of the motor. (For three phase induction motors)


How do you calculate the no-load current of a three phase induction motor?

All transformers, single phase or three phase have a "no-load current" rating. That is simply the nameplate rating of the Xformer in VA, (volt-amps) or KVA (1000Volt-amps) for larger Xformers. Simply divide the nameplate rating in VA or KVA by the supply voltage and you'll get the Xformers potential maximum output in ampheres.

How does mpcb work?

The basic working principle is similar to all other circuit breakers.• Thermal protection is used to guard the electric motor against overload. It is based on an expanding and contracting contact that disconnects the motor if excessive current is detected. It is very important to know that thermal protection has a delayed response, to allow the high inrush currents when a motor starts. However, if the motor is unable to start for some reason, thermal protection will trip in response to the extended inrush current.• Magnetic protection is used when there is a short circuit, line fault, or other high current electric fault. Unlike thermal protection, magnetic protection is instantaneous, to immediately disconnect the dangerous fault currents.• The main difference between the MPCB and other circuit breakers is that the MPCB can provide protection against phase unbalance and phase loss. Three-phase circuit motors require three live conductors with balanced voltages in order to operate effectively. An unbalance of more than 2% will be detrimental to the motor's service life. If one of the phase voltages is suddenly lost, the effect is even more damaging because the motor will keep on running with only two phases. The motor protection circuit breaker is capable of detecting these conditions by measuring the differences among phase voltages, and disconnects the motor immediately when they occur. It is important to note that phase current unbalance is normal in three-phase systems that power separate single-phase loads, but is unacceptable when the three-phase circuit powers an electric motor.• MPCBs are also equipped with a manual interruption mechanism, allowing disconnection of electric motors for replacement or maintenance.Motor protection circuit breakers are available in a wide variety of current ratings, and one of their best features is that many models allow the current rating to be adjusted. This means that the same MCPB can be configured to protect motors of different capacities.

What would be the horse power required in a 3-phase motor to replace a .5 horsepower single phase motor.?

You still need the same horsepower. The advantage of the three-phase motor is that it will draw lower current.
