Energy Efficiency Tips
Balancing your loads properly can reduce energy losses by up to 20%
Load balancing in electrical systems refers to the process of distributing electrical loads evenly across all phases of a power system. This ensures that no single phase is overloaded while others are underutilized.
Proper load balancing:
- Improves system efficiency
- Reduces power losses
- Prevents overheating of conductors
- Extends equipment lifespan
- Maintains voltage stability
- Add Loads: Enter all electrical loads in your system with their power ratings and types
- Configure System: Set your system parameters (voltage, phases, etc.) in the left sidebar
- Review Balance: Check the Load Balance tab to see current distribution
- Optimize: Use recommendations to adjust load distribution for better balance
- Export: Save your balanced configuration for reference or compliance documentation
Load imbalance is calculated as the maximum deviation from the average phase load, expressed as a percentage of the average load.
Example: If Phase R has 10kW, Phase Y has 12kW, and Phase B has 8kW:
- Average load = (10 + 12 + 8)/3 = 10kW
- Maximum deviation = 12 - 10 = 2kW
- Imbalance = (2/10)*100 = 20%
Acceptable Levels:
- 0-5%: Excellent balance
- 5-10%: Acceptable but could be improved
- >10%: Needs correction
- Distribute large single-phase loads evenly across all three phases
- Group similar load types together when possible
- Consider power factor when balancing inductive and capacitive loads
- Regularly monitor and adjust balance as load patterns change
- Prioritize critical loads to ensure they have adequate power
- Follow local electrical codes and standards (NEC, IEC, etc.)
