LOAD IS NOT BALANCED
IMPACT OF UNBALANCED LOAD
1. MORE INSTALLATION COST – The single phase current is high so higher value of
breaker size and cable shall be used based on load.
2. MORE OPERATION COST – If the load is not balanced the Neutral current is
increasing and whatever current flow through Neutral is draining as waste
through Earth.
