What is the harm of transformer three-phase imbalance?
Fri, Feb 23, 2018
Three-phase imbalance means that inconsistent amplitude of three-phase current (or voltage) in electrical power system and that amplitude difference surpasses the specified range.
Unbalanced current of transformer refers to current difference of three-phase transformer windings. The current difference is mainly caused by different three-phase load. Asymmetry of load gives rise to asymmetry of three-phase current which flow through transformer. And current asymmetry causes asymmetry of three-phase impedance drop of transformer, thus three-phase voltage of secondary side is asymmetric, which will do harm to transformer and electric equipment.
