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

  1. Add Loads: Enter all electrical loads in your system with their power ratings and types
  2. Configure System: Set your system parameters (voltage, phases, etc.) in the left sidebar
  3. Review Balance: Check the Load Balance tab to see current distribution
  4. Optimize: Use recommendations to adjust load distribution for better balance
  5. 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.)
