Clarify how much voltage unbalanceness shall be allowed in a trnsformer secondary while the primary voltage remains constant? is there an IEC standard for this...?

Same way how much shall be allowed for motors terminal?

Re: acceptable Voltage unbalanceness in transformer secondary(While primary constant

If you have 3 phase motor, maximum 1% voltage unbalance is allowed in NEMA. 1% of voltage unbalance can create 6-10% current unbalance for the motor. If the voltage unbalance is more than 1%, the motor has to be de-rated.

Somebody else can shade light on IEC regulation.
