Abstract
A device determines a first current, of a first input phase of a power system, and a second current, of a second input phase of the power system. The device determines whether the first input phase and the second input phase are balanced based on the first current and the second current. When the first input phase and the second input phase are not balanced, the device selects the first input phase and an output phase of the power system. The device balances the first input phase and the second input phase by using the first input phase and the output phase.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- determining, by a device, a first current of a first input phase of a power system;
- determining, by the device, a second current of a second input phase of the power system;
- determining, by the device, that the first input phase and the second input phase are not balanced based on the first current and the second current;
- selecting, by the device, the first input phase based on determining that the first input phase and the second input phase are not balanced;
- selecting, by the device, two output phases, of a plurality of output phases of the power system, based on determining that the first input phase and the second input phase are not balanced;
- and
- balancing, by the device, the first input phase and the second input phase by using the first input phase and the two output phases.
