print this pageMost industrial electrical loads are designed for 3 phases of current at either 480 volts or 600 volts. A 600 volt motor is optimized when it receives 3 phases of current at 600 volts. Often, electrical systems can become destabilized and each phase will deliver current at a different voltage such as 580, 600 and 620 volts respectively. Even minor imbalances can generate heat and electrical losses.
Typical Solution:Minor imbalances are generally left uncorrected and major imbalances are fixed by expensive projects such as rewiring equipment and balancing loads between phases, replacing motors and adding transformers.
PowerKureTM Solution: PowerKure
TM can stabilize voltage across all three phases using a combination of LRC tank circuits and phase shifting reactors. In the above example, the voltage in all three phases will be balanced to 600 volts +/- .5% to 1%. Balancing the voltage across all three phases reduces heat and electrical losses.
