Resolution
There are two commonly used definitions of Voltage Unbalance in the industry:
-
NEMA Definition: NEMA stands for National Equipment Manufacturers Association in USA.
-
True Definition: This definition of voltage unbalance is also known as ‘IEC Definition’ , ‘True definition’ or ‘Voltage Unbalance factor’.
According to IEC 61000-4-30 compliance and ION meters all PowerLogic™ and ION meters are compliant with the International Electrotechnical Commission's IEC 61000-4-30 (4-30) standard.
As per IEC 61000-4-30 the calculation of Unbalance is based on the following formula:
VU = (VN / VP)*100%
where:
VU = Percent Voltage Unbalance
VN = Negative sequence voltage
VP= Positive sequence voltage
As perNEMA MG1-14.34, Voltage and Current Unbalance percentage is calculated based on the following formula:
IU = 100 * max ( |I1 - Iavg| , |I2 - Iavg| , |I3 - Iavg| ) / Iavg
where:
Iavg = (I1 + I2 + I3) / 3
max ( |I1 - Iavg| , |I2 - Iavg| , |I3 - Iavg| ) is the Maximum deviation from the mean value:
|I1 - Iavg| = abs(I1 - Iavg)
|I2 - Iavg| = abs(I2 - Iavg)
|I3 - Iavg| = abs(I3 - Iavg)
Voltage Unbalance is calculated the same as Current Unbalance formula based on NEMA method.
Example:
Iavg = (165.8 + 152.7 + 166.6) / 3 = 161.70
Maximum deviation from the mean value = max( abs(165.8 - 161.7) , abs(152.7 - 161.7) , abs(166.6 - 161.7) ) = max( abs(4.1) , abs(-9) , abs(4.9) ) = max( 4.1 , 9 , 4.9) = 9
IU = (9 / 161.70) * 100 = 5.5658 ~ 5.6
