SYSTEM
At the substations,the incomingpower is loweredin voltagefor distributionover the local
area. Eachsubstationfeeds its local load area by meansof primary distributionfeeders,some
operatingat24OQvolts and othersat 4160 volts and 13,800volts or higher.

Ordinarily,primaryfeedersare one to five milesin length;in rural sectionswhere demandsfor

efectricityare relativelylight and scattered,they are sometimesas long as LOar LZ [Link]
circuitsare usuallycarriedon poles;but in the more denselybuilt-upsections,underground
conduitsconveythe cables,or the cablemay be burieddirectlyin the ground.

The distribution systemis particularlyimportant to an electricalutility for two reasons

f . it's closeproximityto the customers
2. it's high cost of investment.

Kilowatt hourr

The kilowatt hour, alsowritten kilowatt-hour(symbolkW.h,kW h or kwh) is a unit of energy

equalto 3.6 megajoules.

Energydeliveredby electricutilitiesis usuallyexpressedand chargedfor in kilowatt hours.

Energyin kilowatt hoursis the productof power in kilowattsand time in hours.

 .
Definition:-

The unit of energyin the InternationalSystemof Units(Sl)is the joule (J),equalto one watt
second(one watt is equalto one joule per second);one kilowatt hour is exactly3.6 mega
joules,which is the amount of energyexpended(or dissipated)if work is done at a constant
rate of one thousandwatts for one hour.

Becauseof the highvoltagesimposedon the incomingside,there is an elaborateelectrical

The functioningof a regulatorwas previouslydiscussedin the sectionon line equipment.

However,mention of its basicprincipleis repeated here. A regulator is really a transformer with
a variableratio. When the outgoingvoltage becomestoo high or too low for any reason,this
apparatusautomaticallyadjuststhe ratio of transformationto bring the voltage backto the
predeterminedvalue.

BREAKF-"BS";

Oil circuitbreakersare usedto interrupt circuitswhile current is flowingthrough them. The

makingand breakingof contactsare done under oil. As explainedpreviously,the oil servesto
quenchthe arc when the circuitis [Link] operationof the breakeris very rapidwhen
[Link] with the transformer,the high voltageconnectionsare madethrough bushings.
Circuitbreakersof this type are usuallyarrangedfor remote electricalcontrol from a suitably
locatedswitchboard.
Somecircuitbreakershaveno oil, but put out the arc by a blastof compressedair. Theseare
caffed air circuit [Link] type enclosesthe contactsin a vacuum or a gas {sulfur
hexafluoride,SF6)which interruptsthe conductivepath of the arc.

A relay is a low-powereddeviceusedto activatea [Link] a transmissionor

distributionsystem,it is the job of relaysto givethe trippingcommandsto the right circuit

Relaysprotectthe feedersand the equipmentfrom damagein the event of fault. In effect,
these relaysare measuringinstrumentsbut equippedwith auxiliarycontactswhich operate
