Question 2.21: What Are The Reasons of Using Load Equalisation in The Electric Drive? Answer

Load equalization is used in electric drives where the load torque fluctuates widely over short periods. It stores energy during light loads and uses this energy for peak loads, keeping the electrical power from the supply constant. This prevents excess current from being drawn and protects circuit components from overcurrent, while also improving efficiency by reducing voltage drop and losses.

Question 2.21: What are the reasons of using Load Equalisation in the electric drive?

Answer:

Load equalisation is used in electric drives which are used in applications where the load torque
fluctuates widely within short intervals of time. The fluctuation of the load draws heavy current from
the supply during the peak interval and also cause a large voltage drop in the system due to which
the equipment may get damage. Load Equalisation stores the energy in the light load and this energy
is utilised when the peak load occurs. Thus, the electrical power from the supply remains constant
and this prevents excess current to be drawn and thus other circuit components are protected from
overcurrent. Efficiency is also improved as the drop in voltage is reduced, so this means fewer losses.
