Inspite of best efforts, no state electricity board can ensure constant voltage to the customer because of long and inadequate distribution lines and irregular load pattern on distribution transformers. Generally voltage is low during day time and high during night hours. Moreover on holidays, peak hours, rainy day and when agricultural and industrial load is switched off, the voltage rises sharply which is more dangerous.
This higher current affects the electrical motors (particularly smaller capacity motors upto 7.5 H.P.) in three ways:
Higher current produces higher losses in electrical motors which causes premature failure of winding
These higher losses of electric motors also increase the losses of cables, switches, transformers and other associated equipments.
For smooth continuous operation of motors, over load relays are usually set at 20% higher setting.
