Calculate percentage of current unbalance for
all three hookups.
Example:
Hook Up 1
T 1 = 51 Amps
T 2 = 46 Amps
T 3 = 53 Amps
Add up all three readings for hook up number 1.
Divide the total by three to obtain the average.
Calculate the greatest amp difference from the aver-
age. Could be greater than average.
Divide this difference by the average to obtain the
percentage of unbalance.
Always use hook up with lowest % current unbalance.
Loads on a transformer bank vary. Readings should be
taken at peak load period.
What It Means –
1. Hook ups below 5% = system balanced.
2. Hook ups not below 5% – if the unbalance moves with
the motor leads the unbalance is caused by the motor,
wet splice, or damaged cable. Check the motor on
pages 44-45. If the unbalance remains with the termi-
nals the unbalance is in the power supply – contact
power company.
