How to eliminate phase imbalance in the cottage?

Oleg asks:
Three phases were brought to the cottage, after the board at the new refrigerator burned out, the owner installed three voltage relays. On the screen of one relay, the voltage varies from 220 to 230 volts, on the other two from 240 to 270 ... What could be the reason and how to eliminate it?
The answer to the question:
No way. I am 90% sure that the problem is not with you but in the village’s power grid. This will happen if the phases are not loaded evenly, and also if poor contact at zero somewhere along the line. You can contact the network company. Well, anyway, just in case, you need to check how the load is distributed in phases in the electrical panel of the cottage itself. If there are clearly overloaded phases, try to scatter consumers more evenly. This can be done with clamp meters.
