The document discusses distribution systems for electrical power. It defines primary and secondary distribution systems and notes that the secondary system receives power from distribution transformers at low voltage and supplies power to various connected loads. It also describes different types of distribution systems including radial and ring main systems. Radial systems have a single path between the substation and each distributor, while ring main systems form a closed loop to reduce conductor requirements and voltage fluctuations.
5. Requirements of good distribution systems
Continuity in the power supply must be ensured.
Voltage must not vary more than the prescribed limits.(5%).
Efficiency of line must be high as possible.
Safe from consumer point of view.
Layout should not effect the appearance of locality.
Line should not be overloaded.
6. Distribution system is further classified on the basis of
voltage
1.primary distribution systems
2.secondary distribution systems
Primary Distribution:-The part of the electrical-supply system existing between
the distribution substations and the distribution transformers is called the primary
system.
Secondary Distribution:-The secondary distribution system receives power from
the secondary side of distribution transformers at low voltage and supplies power to
various connected loads via service lines.
8. DC Distribution system 1.General Distribution system
2. D.C Three wire system
1.General Distribution system
Feeder are used to feed the electrical power
from the generating station to the
substation.
Distributors are used to distribute the
supply further from the substation.
Service mains are connected to the
distributors so as to make the supply
available at the consumers.(simplest two
wire distribution system)
9. 2.D.C Three wire system
Voltage level can not be increased readily like a.c.
Method:-two generators are connected in series
-each is generating a voltage of V volts
-common point is neutral from where neutral wire is run.
(too expensive , use to double the transmission voltage)
Demand :-consumers demanding higher voltage are connected to the two lines.
-consumers demanding less voltage are connected between any one line
and neutral.
11. Balanced:-One line carries current I1 while
the other current I2.when the load is
balanced(loads connected on either sides of
the neutral wire are equal) .neutral current is
zero.
Out of balance current:-I1 is greater than
I2 then neutral wire carries current equal to
I1-I2
-I2 is greater than
I1 then neutral wire carries current equal to I2-
I1.
(Direction).neutral potential will not remain
half of that between the 2 lines.
12. Single generator having twice the line
Two small d.c machines are connected across
the line in series which are mechanically coupled
to a common shaft . These are called
balancers.
load is balanced:-machines work as the d.c
motors.
Out of balance:-machine connected to lightly
loaded side acts as motor , heavily loaded side
acts as generator.
Energy is transferred from lightly loaded side to
heavily loaded side as machine as motor drives the
machine as generator.
13. AC Distribution system 1.Radial Distribution system
2.Ring main Distribution system
1.Radial Distribution system
only one/single path is connected between each Distributor and substation is called radial
Distribution system.
Fault occurs either on feeder or a distributor, all the consumers connected to that distributor
will get affected.
In India, 99% of
distribution of power
is by radial distribution
system only.
14. Advantages:
Its initial cost is minimum.
Simple in planning, design and operation.
Useful when the generation is at low voltage..
Station is located at the center of the load
Disadvantages:
Distributor nearer to the feeding end is heavily loaded.
The consumers at the far end of the feeder would be subjected to series voltage
fluctuations with the variations in load.
15. 2.Ring main Distribution system
Feeder covers the whole area of supply in the ring fashion and finally terminates at
the substation from where it is started.
Closed loop form and looks like a ring.
16. Advantages:
Less conductor material is required as each part of the ring carries less current than
in the radial system.
Less voltage fluctuations.
Disadvantage:
It is difficult to design when compared to the designing of a radial system.

18. Concentrated loads:-load which are acting at particular points of the distributor are
called concentrated loads.
Distributed loads:-load which spread over the particular distance of the distributor
are called distributed load.(no load condition practical)
D.C Distributor with Concentrated loads
Classified 1. Fed at one end
2.Fed at both the ends
20. Fed at one end A-A.
Applying KCL at various points we get,
i1=I1+I2+I3,i2=I2+I3 and i3=I3
the wire AB is the return wire of the distributor
r=resistance per unit length of conductor in 立
Voltage drop tabulated as,
section Drop section Drop
Aa i1l1r Aa i1l1r
ab i2(l2-l1)r ab i2(l2-l1)r
bc i3(l3-l2)r bc i3(l3-l2)r
21. In practice , the resistance of go and return conductor per unit length is assumed to
be r=2r.
r1=2r1, r2=2r2, r3=2r3
The total drop in the distributor is
=r1i1l1+r2i2(l2-l1)+r3i3(l3-l2)
23. 2.Fed at both the ends(Concentrated loads)
1.End at Equal voltages
A and B maintained at equal voltage
b be the point of minimum potential(the load point where the current are coming
from both the side of distributor is the point of minimum potential.
Let x be supplied by point A
while y be supplied by point B,
y=I2-x
24. As both the point A and B are maintained at same voltage, drop in section Aa must
be equal to drop in section Bb.
i1r1+i2r2=i3r3+i4r4
(I1+x)r1+xr2=(I2-x)r3+(I2+I3-x)r4
All current known ,
x and voltage drop
can be calculated
Current loading and voltage drop diagram
25. 2.Ends at Unequal voltages
A and B maintained at different voltage
b be the point of minimum potential.
Let x be supplied by point A while y be supplied by point B,
y=I2-x
Voltage drop between A and B = Voltage drop over AB
If voltage of A is V1 and is greater than voltage of B which is V2 then,
V1-V2=drop in all the section of AB
The same equation can be written as,
V1-drops over Ab= V2-drops over Bb

33. Ring main distributor with interconnection
Cable is arranged in the Loop fashion,fed at only one point
Use for large area hence voltage drop across the various section become
larger(excessive voltage drop).
Solution:-distant point of ring distributor are joined together by a conductor this is
called interconnection.
