What are the dangers of voltage fluctuations?


If the voltage fluctuation (increase or decrease) exceeds the allowable range, it will cause the electrical equipment to operate under high or low voltage conditions, which is neither economical nor safe. The hazards of user electrical equipment operating under high or low voltage conditions are described below:


(1) The hazards of operating under high voltage conditions:
A.  Accelerate aging of the insulation of electrical equipment, shortening the service life of the equipment;
B. Cause voltage waveform distortion, increase high-order harmonics in the power grid, and in severe cases lead to excessive voltage endangering the safety of the equipment;
C. Increases the no-load loss of the motor, thereby increasing both power and electrical energy losses;

D. Affects the user's normal operation and product quality.


(2) Harmful effects of operating at low voltage:
A. Reduce the efficiency of power generation and power supply equipment;
B. Increase power loss;
C. Cause difficulty in starting the motor, and the motor will be burned if it operates at low voltage for a long time;

D. Reduce the efficiency of electrical equipment and affect product quality.
