3-Phase Power Unbalance - Counters Rock（三相功率不平衡,计数器岩石）.pdf

      3-Phase Power Unbalance       HOMA Submersible Motors will operate successfully with all three lines of the supply voltage within + 10% of the nameplate rating. However, the slightest (1%) unbalance in voltage between any of the three supply lines (phases) will cause a significantly higher percentage of current unbalance within the motor. This current unbalance is in the order of 6 to 10 times the measured voltage unbalance. Further to the problem, some of this excessively high current is the form of circulating currents within the stator, therefore, not readable at the control box. The generation of these circulating current is best defined as follows:   From NEMA MG-1 part14, Page 11 “ The effect of unbalanced voltages on polyphase induction motors is equivalent to the introduction of a “negative sequence voltage” having a rotation opposite to that occurring with the balanced voltages. This negative sequence voltage produces in the air gap a flux rotating against the rotation of the rotor, tending to produce high currents. A small negative sequence voltage may produce in the windings currents considerably in excess of those present under balanced conditions.”   Temperature rise within the stator windings will be proportional to the actual (not measured) current imbalance. The increased heat should cause the winding
