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

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 'Synchronous Condensers for Power Grid Stabilization'

I mentioned in a post some time ago now that, at present, the renewable energy debate here in Australia is mired in economic issues, not technical issues this forum is concerned with. It still is, but a new twist has appeared - the need for synchronous condensers: https://search.abb.com/library/Download.aspx?DocumentID=9AKK107258&LanguageCode=en&DocumentPartId=&Action=Launch All sides seem to agree they are needed, and the discussion is now around their economics. The economics is not in...
