How to determine kVA for my house? (to buy a servo stabilizer)

AI Thread Summary
To determine the kVA needed for a home with a treadmill featuring a 3HP AC motor, it's essential to consider the total load and voltage fluctuations. The manufacturer recommends a servo stabilizer for the motor, which should support at least 3kVA. Given the sanctioned maximum load of 60A at 230V RMS, and accounting for two air conditioners and a microwave, a calculation of the remaining load is necessary. Voltage fluctuations can drop to as low as 180V during peak usage, highlighting the need for a reliable stabilizer. Investing in a servo stabilizer for the entire house may be beneficial for protecting appliances from these fluctuations.

I just got a treadmill delivered. It is semi-commercial with a 3HP AC motor that can go to 6HP at peak. The Amazon product page said that a stabilizer is recommended. We live in a metropolitan city, so voltage variations aren't too much, but we do have sudden fluctuations once in a while, and steady low voltage in the summer when everyone is using air conditioners. So all costly appliances like air conditioners and refrigerators have relay-based stabilizers. But for a 3HP motor, only servo stabilizers will work. I had a word with the manufacturer; they said it's better if I buy a stabilizer to protect the motor and MCB, and of course, he also confirmed that it has to be a servo stabilizer. I should be buying one that can support a minimum of 3kVA.

The thing is, servo stabilizers are costly. I was wondering if it is logical to pay a bit more and get a servo stabilizer for the entire house. ("Entire house" excludes air conditioners and microwave oven, but includes the refrigerator.) We have a sanctioned maximum load of 60A (at 230V RMS mains). Deduct two air conditioners and one microwave oven; each takes about 11A at peak. With this data, how do I calculate the kVA for my house?

What is your supply voltage and frequency?
How much variation of voltage do you see ?

A servo based stabiliser transitions smoothly, without interruption to the supply. A relay based stabiliser, will have short periods of interruption while switching, when there is no power output. That may reset a controller or computer system.

The third way is to use a VFD, variable frequency drive. That should produce a steady output at the mains frequency and voltage expected.

220V RMS @ 50Hz.

Sudden fluctuations can go down to 190V; in summer, during high usage of air conditioners, we have seen it go to 180V.
 

Thread 'How might electronics be different if AC voltage was 72V at 45 Hz?'

Hey guys. I have a question related to electricity and alternating current. Say an alien fictional society developed electricity, and settled on a standard like 73V AC current at 46 Hz. How would appliances be designed, and what impact would the lower frequency and voltage have on transformers, wiring, TVs, computers, LEDs, motors, and heating, assuming the laws of physics and technology are the same as on Earth?

Thread 'What happens if shielded cable has a short to the shield?'

While I was rolling out a shielded cable, a though came to my mind - what happens to the current flow in the cable if there came a short between the wire and the shield in both ends of the cable? For simplicity, lets assume a 1-wire copper wire wrapped in an aluminum shield. The wire and the shield has the same cross section area. There are insulating material between them, and in both ends there is a short between them. My first thought, the total resistance of the cable would be reduced...

Thread 'Why does the amperage go real high if there is a low voltage short?'

I used to be an HVAC technician. One time I had a service call in which there was no power to the thermostat. The thermostat did not have power because the fuse in the air handler was blown. The fuse in the air handler was blown because there was a low voltage short. The rubber coating on one of the thermostat wires was chewed off by a rodent. The exposed metal in the thermostat wire was touching the metal cabinet of the air handler. This was a low voltage short. This low voltage...
