Abstract

Most of the loads in industrial power distribution systems are balanced and connected to three power systems. However, voltage unbalance is generated at the user's 3-phase 4-wire distribution systems with single & three phase. Voltage unbalance is mainly affected by load system rather than power system. Unbalanced voltage will draws a highly unbalanced current and results in the temperature rise and the low output characteristics at the machine. It is necessary to analyze correct voltage unbalance factor for reduction of side effects in the industrial sites. Voltage unbalance is usually defined by the maximum percent deviation of voltages from their average value, by the method of symmetrical components or by the expression in a more user-friendly form which requires only the three line voltage readings. If the neutral point is moved at the 3-phase -4-wire system by the unbalanced load, by the conventional analytical method, line and phase voltage unbalance leads to different results due to zero-sequence component. This paper presents a new analytical method for phase and line voltage unbalance factor in 4-wire systems. Two methods indicate exact results
