When buy busbar machine, be sure to confirm the voltage

Provide feasible solutions to the problem that the busbar machine equipment power supply does not match the customer’s local voltage. It is recommended that customers add a voltage inverter to convert the industrial electricity 220V to 380V.

SUNSHINE Busbar Machine Manufacturing Co., Ltd. is a well-known busbar processing machine manufacturer in China, providing busbar processing solutions for customers in the power and power distribution industries. Our products mainly include CNC busbar bending machines, CNC busbar punching and shearing machines, and multi-functional 3 in 1 busbar machines.
In 2020, due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, we began to shift from the Chinese market to overseas markets to sell busbar machines, and our quality was greatly appreciated by customers in the Southeast Asian market, South American market, Middle East and North African market.

The problem we encountered: The equipment power supply does not match the customer's local voltage

We encountered many problems in the early stage of expanding overseas markets. The solution of these problems also made customers more recognized our SUNSHINE service and product quality, and then became long-term partners. We were very happy when our first order in the overseas market was completed, but when the equipment arrived at the customer’s local place for use, we encountered a problem beyond our expectations: the power supply of the equipment did not match the local voltage of the customer (the industrial power voltage at the customer’s location is three-phase 220V 50HZ, while the voltage of our equipment is three-phase 380V 50HZ).

Impact caused by the mismatch between the equipment power supply and the customer's local voltage

  • Abnormal operation of the motor: If the industrial voltage is higher than the power supply voltage required by the equipment, the motor may run at an overspeed, resulting in overheating, increased wear, and even burning of the motor windings. Conversely, if the industrial voltage is lower than the power supply voltage requirement, the motor may not be able to reach the normal speed and torque, and may be difficult to start and run weakly, affecting the normal working efficiency of the equipment.
  • Damage to electronic components: Excessive voltage may cause electronic components such as integrated circuits and capacitors to be subjected to excessive voltage stress, resulting in short circuits, breakdowns and other faults. If the voltage is too low, these components may not work properly, affecting the control and monitoring functions of the equipment.
  • Decreased processing accuracy: For equipment such as busbar processing machines that require high precision, voltage mismatch will cause the actuator of the equipment to move unstable. For example, the position deviation of the punching, the inaccurate length of the shearing, the inconsistent angle of the bending, etc., will affect the quality and consistency of the busbar products.

Our solution: add a voltage inverter to convert 220V to 380V.

We communicated with customers many times and provided feasible solutions to the problem that the power supply of busbar machine equipment does not match the local voltage of customers. We suggested that customers add a voltage inverter to convert the industrial electricity 220V to 380V. Finally, the customer accepted our solution, and of course all the costs were borne by our factory.

After the above incident, we must confirm the local power voltage with customers from all over the world before quoting equipment (link: List of power voltages around the world) to reduce future problems for both parties. When selecting busbar processing machine equipment, the power supply voltage requirements of the equipment must be determined according to the actual industrial voltage situation of the factory. If the power supply voltage of the equipment does not match the industrial voltage, it may be necessary to convert the voltage through equipment such as transformers. In addition, the frequency of the voltage needs to be considered. In my country, the frequency of industrial voltage is usually 50Hz. If the equipment has special requirements for voltage frequency, it also needs to be paid attention to when selecting and using it.

Conclusion

In short, in-depth knowledge of busbar processing machine power supply voltage and industrial voltage plays an important role in the reasonable selection, use and maintenance of busbar processing equipment and improving the efficiency and quality of industrial production. Only in a correctly matched and stable voltage environment can busbar processing equipment play its best performance and create greater value for industrial production.
