Phase Equilibrium

Phase Equilibrium is a specialized engineering utility designed for electrical professionals, contractors, and advanced DIY enthusiasts engaged in planning or optimizing three-phase power distribution systems. This application provides a sophisticated and intuitive method for calculating and visualizing load distribution across phases A, B, and C, crucial for minimizing phase imbalance and neutral wire current in distribution boards.

The core functionality revolves around a dynamic visual interface rendered on a digital canvas. Users are presented with an equilateral triangle suspended by three simulated springs, each representing one electrical phase. As users define and add individual electrical consumers, such as appliances or equipment, specifying their power consumption in kilowatts and power factor, they can assign these loads to specific phases. The underlying physics engine realistically simulates the effect of the load on the system. The corresponding spring extends under the virtual weight, tilting the triangle to provide immediate visual feedback on the state of balance.

The primary objective is to arrange the electrical breakers and their associated loads so that the suspended triangle remains perfectly level, indicating a balanced system operating within the optimal green zone. The application automatically performs complex calculations, summing active power, determining total currents, and computing the exact percentage of phase imbalance. It further calculates the resulting current in the neutral conductor using precise vector mathematics. This allows users to proactively identify critical imbalances exceeding permissible limits before physical installation begins.

Phase Equilibrium supports the configuration of main incoming breaker ratings and allows for highly customizable parameters, including phase voltage adjustments. The application includes a comprehensive library of common household and industrial appliances for quick setup, alongside the ability to define custom consumers with specific parameters. A matrix view organizes all assigned loads logically by phase, facilitating rapid adjustments and reordering of breakers via drag-and-drop functionality for optimized planning. For advanced analysis, a vector diagram view is available to visualize the current vectors on the complex plane. An automated smart balance algorithm can suggest an efficient load distribution pattern based on the input data. This tool is essential for anyone aiming to ensure safe, efficient, and balanced three-phase electrical installations.
