Some Facts:
This means:
Motor heats up faster and overload capability is lower
Prolonged overloads

If average current is less than the motor rated full load current
% unbalance= 100 X (I dev –I average)/ I FLA
Where Idev is the phase current which has the largest deviation
From I average and IFLA is motor rated full load current
If average current is less than the motor rated full load current
% unbalance= 100 X (I dev –I average)/ I FLA
Where Idev is the phase current which has the largest deviation
From I average and IFLA is motor rated full load current
