strømbalancer

Strømbalancer is a Danish term that translates to "current balancer" or "power balancer" in English. It refers to a device or system used to distribute electrical power evenly across a three-phase electrical network. In a three-phase system, power is supplied by three alternating currents that are out of phase with each other. Ideally, these currents should be balanced, meaning they carry the same amount of power. However, in practice, loads connected to each phase can be uneven, leading to an imbalance.

This imbalance can cause several problems, including overheating of the transformer and conductors, reduced efficiency, and potential damage to connected equipment. A strømbalancer is designed to counteract these issues by actively or passively shifting power between the phases to achieve a more uniform distribution. This can involve using sophisticated electronic controls or simpler passive components like inductors and capacitors.

The primary goal of a strømbalancer is to improve the overall performance and reliability of the electrical system. By ensuring that no single phase is overloaded, it helps to prevent premature equipment failure and reduces energy loss. These devices are commonly found in industrial settings, commercial buildings, and any application where three-phase power is utilized and load balancing is critical for optimal operation and safety.
