500 kVA Automatic Voltage Controller
Voltage fluctuation is a common phenomenon in every part of the country. The industrial units running round the clock, usually face the problem of low and high voltage. 90% of industrial load motors . Electric motors draw considerably high current at low & high voltage. This higher current affects the electrical motors ( particularly smaller capacity motors upto 7.5 H.P.) in three ways:
- Higher current produces higher losses in electrical motors which causes premature failure winding.
- These higher losses of electric motors also increase the losses of cables, switches, transformers and other associated equipments.
- For smooth continuous operation of motors, overload relays are usually set at 20% higher setting.
