Abstract
A system and method for improving electrical efficiency in a system with three-phase electrical current is disclosed. The system includes components used to balance the currents between the phases and components used to tune components to minimize the lag between current and voltage for each of the phases for each of the three phase loads in a system with three phase power supplied and three phase loads.

An electrical current balancing system for connection to an electrical network with a supply power, the system comprising:
- a line/power filter configured to filter and tune the supply power,
- a switch gear booster in communication with a rack system, a load controller and a bi-directional meter, the switch gear booster configured to manage and stabilize voltage of the electrical network and wirelessly control the rack system while increasing power factor levels of the electrical network,
- where the rack system is configured to step up a power factor ratio of the electrical network using the line/power filter,
- where the load controller further comprises a radio control device for managing on and off controls for performance and validation purposes, and
- a gateway in communication with the load controller and configured to collect and pass data collected by the bi-directional meter for transmission to a data server.
A method for configuring an electrical network with an electrical current balancing system, the method comprising:
- Identifying each circuit at a main switch gear level of the electrical network,
- tracing a first circuit to enable installation of an electrical current balancing system,
- performing a measurement of a power quality condition of the first circuit while also identifying a type of AC or DC control equipment loads that comprise the first circuit, after installation of a line/power filter in the electrical network, transmitting an AC or DC filter signal upstream for conditioning loads to allow a cleaner delivery of power,
- installing a switch gear booster nearest a main breaker for switch gear of the electrical network,
- installing a rack system, where the rack system is configured to stabilize a main voltage as well as dial up a facility power factor to a highest level for optimum efficiency,
- installing a load controller for wireless on and off control and testing purposes;
- installing a calibrated bi-directional meter for collecting power quality data of the electrical network, and
- turning on the electrical current balancing system.
