 The most economical area of conductor is that
for which the total annual cost of transmission
line is minimum . This is known as Kelvin’s
Law
 The total annual cost of transmission line can
be divided broadly into two parts viz.,
ο‚‘ Annual charge on capital outlay
ο‚‘ Annual cost of energy wasted in the conductor.
6 October 2020 D.Rajesh Asst.Prof. EEE Department 54
 This is on account of interest and depreciation on the capital cost of
complete installation of transmission line. In case of overhead system,
it will be the annual interest and depreciation on the capital cost of
conductors, supports and insulators and the cost of their erection.
 Now, for an overhead line, insulator cost is constant, the conductor
cost is proportional to the area of X-section and the cost of supports
and their erection is partly constant annual charge.
 Transmission line can be expressed as :
π΄π‘›π‘›π‘’π‘Žπ‘™ π‘β„Žπ‘Žπ‘Ÿπ‘”π‘’ = 𝑃1 + 𝑃2π‘Ž
𝑃1 constant depending on the copper conductor
𝑃2 constant depending on the X-area of the conductor
a is the area of X-section of the conductor
6 October 2020 D.Rajesh Asst.Prof. EEE Department 55
 This is on account of energy lost mainly in the conductor due to 𝐼2R losses.
 Assuming a constant current in the conductor throughout the year,
 The energy lost in the conductor is proportional to resistance.
where R = ρ l/ π‘Ž
 The energy lost in the conductor is inversely proportional to area of X-section.

 Total annual cost, C=𝑃1 + 𝑃2π‘Ž+

i.e. Variable part of annual charge = Annual cost of energy wasted
Therefore Kelvin’s Law can also be stated
The most economical area of conductor is that for which the variable part of
annual charge is equal to the cost of energy losses per year.
6 October 2020 D.Rajesh Asst.Prof. EEE Department 57
 The straight line shows the relation between the
annual charge (i.e., 𝑃1 + 𝑃2π‘Ž) and the area of X-

 Curve 3 shows the relation between total annual
cost of transmission line and area of X-section a.
6 October 2020 D.Rajesh Asst.Prof. EEE Department 58
 (i) It is not easy to estimate the energy loss in the line without actual load
curves, which are not available at the time of estimation.
 (ii) The assumption that annual cost on account of interest and
depreciation on the capital outlay is in the form 𝑃1 + 𝑃2π‘Ž is strictly
speaking not true. For instance, in cables neither the cost of cable dielectric
and sheath nor the cost of laying vary in this manner.
 (iii) This law does not take into account several physical factors like safe
current density, mechanical strength, corona loss etc.
 (iv) The conductor size determined by this law may not always be
practicable one because it may be too small for the safe carrying of
necessary current.
 (v) Interest and depreciation on the capital outlay cannot be determined
accurately.

The conveyance of electric power from a power station to
consumers’ premises is known as electric supply system.
 Electric supply system consist of three principle components:
1) Power station
2) Transmission lines
3) Distribution system
 The electric supply system can be broadly classified into:
1) DC or AC system
2)Overhead or underground system
6 October 2020 D.Rajesh Asst.Prof. EEE Department 66
Different blocks of typical acpowersupply scheme are asper
following::
1)Generating Station:
Ingenerating station power is producedby three phase alternators
operating inparallel.
The usual generation voltage is 11kV.
Foreconomy in the transmission of electric power, the generation
voltage is stepped upto 132 kVor more at generating station with the
help of three phase transformer.
6 October 2020 D.Rajesh Asst.Prof. EEE Department 67
2)Primarytransmission:
Theelectric power at 132 kVis transmitted by 3-phase,3 wire overhead system to the out
3)Secondary transmission:
Atthe receiving station the voltage is reduced to33kV by step down transformer.
4)Primary distribution:
Atthe substation voltage is reduced 33kV to 11kV.The11kV line run along important
roadsides to city. This forms the primary distribution.
5)Secondarydistribution:
Theelectric power form primary distribution line is delivered to distribution substation. The
substation is located nearthe consumers location and step down the voltage to 400V, 3-
phase ,4-wire for secondary distribution.
The voltage between any two phases is 400V and between any phase and neutral is 230V.

Which distributes
electric power for
local use is known as
distribution system.
6 October 2020 D.Rajesh Asst.Prof. EEE Department 73
 (i) Feeders. A feeder is a
conductor which connects the
sub-station to the area where
power is to be distributed.
 (ii) Distributor. A distributor is
a conductor from which
tappings are taken for supply
to the consumers.
 (iii) Service mains. A service
mains is generally a small cable
which connects the distributor
to the consumers’ terminals.

 (i) Radial System.
In this system, separate feeders radiate from a single substation and feed
the distributors at one end only.
6 October 2020 D.Rajesh Asst.Prof. EEE Department 80
 Limitations
 (a) The end of the distributor nearest to the feeding point will be
heavily loaded.
 (b) The consumers are dependent on a single feeder and single
distributor. Therefore, any fault on the feeder or distributor cuts off
supply to the consumers who are on the side of the fault away from
the substation.
 (c) The consumers at the distant end of the distributor would be
subjected to serious voltage fluctuations when the load on the
distributor changes.
Due to these limitations, this system is used for short
distances only.
6 October 2020 D.Rajesh Asst.Prof. EEE Department 81
 (ii) Ring main system.
In this system, the primaries of distribution transformers form a loop. The
loop circuit starts from the substation bus-bars, makes a loop through the area to be served,
and returns to the substation.
βœ“ substation supplies to the
closed feeder LMNOPQRS.
βœ“ The distributors are tapped
from different points M, O and Q
of the feeder through distribution
transformers.
➒ There are less voltage fluctuations
at consumer’s terminals.
➒ The system is very reliable as each
distributor is fed via two feeders.
➒ In the event of fault
on any section of the feeder,
the continuity of supply is maintained.
6 October 2020 D.Rajesh Asst.Prof. EEE Department 82
 (iii) Interconnected system. When the feeder ring is energized by two or
more than two generating stations or substations, it is called inter-connected
system.
(a) It increases the service reliability.
(b) Any area fed from one generating station during peak load hours can be fed
from the other generating station. This reduces reserve power capacity and
increase efficiency of the system.
6 October 2020 D.Rajesh Asst.Prof. EEE Department 83
 (i) Proper voltage.
 One important requirement of a distribution system is that voltage
variations at consumer’s terminals should be as low as possible.
 The changes in voltage are generally caused due to the variation of
load on the system.
 Low voltage causes loss of revenue, inefficient lighting and possible
burning out of motors.
 High voltage causes lamps to burn out permanently and may cause
failure of other appliances.
 Thus, if the declared voltage is 230 V, then the highest voltage of the
consumer should not exceed 244 V while the lowest voltage of the
consumer should not be less than 216 V.
6 October 2020 D.Rajesh Asst.Prof. EEE Department 84
 (ii) Availability of power on demand. Power must be
available to the consumers in any amount that they
may require from time to time.
 (iii) Reliability. Modern industry is almost dependent
on electric power for its operation.
 The reliability can be improved to a considerable extent
by
(a) interconnected system
(b) reliable automatic control system
(c) providing additional reserve facilities.

 Current fed from point A = 𝐼1 + 𝐼2 + 𝐼3 + 𝐼4 Current in section AC = 𝐼1 + 𝐼2 + 𝐼3 + 𝐼4
 Current in section CD = 𝐼2 + 𝐼3 + 𝐼4 Current in section DE = 𝐼3 + 𝐼4

 2-wire d.c. distributor AB fed at one end A and

 The load tapped is i amperes. Let 𝑙 metres be the
length of the distributor and r ohm be the

6 October 2020 D.Rajesh Asst.Prof. EEE Department 91
 Consider a point C on the distributor at a distance x metres from the feeding point A
 Then current at point C is
= i π‘™βˆ’ i x amperes = i (π‘™βˆ’ x) amperes
Now, consider a small length dx near point C. Its resistance is r dx and the voltage drop over

Thus, in a uniformly loaded distributor fed at one end, the total voltage drop is equal to that
produced by the whole of the load assumed to be concentrated at the middle point.

 The two ends of the distributor may be supplied
with (i) equal voltages (ii) unequal voltages.
6 October 2020 D.Rajesh Asst.Prof. EEE Department 93
 Consider a distributor AB fed at both ends with equal voltages V volts and having
concentrated loads 𝐼1, 𝐼2, 𝐼3, 𝐼4 and 𝐼5 at points C, D, E, F and G respectively
 As we move away from one of the feeding points, say A, p.d. goes on decreasing till it
reaches the minimum value at some load point, say E, and then again starts rising and
becomes V volts as we reach the other feeding point B.
 All the currents tapped off between points A and E (minimum p.d. point) will be
supplied from the feeding point A while those tapped off between B and E will be
supplied from the feeding point B.
 The current tapped off at point E itself will be partly supplied from A and partly from
B. If these currents are x and y respectively, then,
x+y= 𝐼3
 Therefore, we arrive at a very important conclusion that at the point of minimum
potential, current comes from both ends of the distributor.
 Voltage drop from feeding point A to the point of minimum potential difference is
equal to the voltage drop from feeding point B to the point of minimum potential
difference

 A distributor arranged to form a closed loop and
fed at one or more points is called a ring
distributor.
 For the purpose of calculating voltage distribution,
the distributor can be considered as consisting of a
series of open distributors fed at both ends.
 The principal advantage of ring distributor is that
by proper choice in the number of feeding points,
great economy in copper can be affected.
6 October 2020 D.Rajesh Asst.Prof. EEE Department 116
 Sometimes a ring distributor has to
serve a large area. In such a case,
voltage drops in the various
sections of the distributor may
become excessive.
 In order to reduce voltage drops in
various sections, distant points of
the distributor are joined through a
conductor called interconnector.

 (i) Consider the interconnector BD to be disconnected and find the potential difference
between B and D. This gives Thevenin’s equivalent circuit voltage 𝐸0.
 (ii) Next, calculate the resistance viewed from points B and D of the network composed
of distribution lines only. This gives Thevenin’s equivalent circuit series resistance 𝑅0.

 A.C. distribution calculations differ from those of d.c. distribution in the
following respects :
 (i) In case of d.c. system, the voltage drop is due to resistance alone.
However, in a.c. system, the voltage drops are due to the combined effects of
resistance, inductance and capacitance.
 (ii) In a d.c. system, additions and subtractions of currents or voltages are
done arithmetically but in case of a.c. system, these operations are done
vectorially.
 (iii) In an a.c. system, power factor (p.f.) has to be taken into account. Loads
tapped off form the distributor are generally at different power factors. There
are two ways of referring power factor viz
(a) It may be referred to supply or receiving end voltage which is
regarded as the reference vector.
(b) It may be referred to the voltage at the load point itself.

Load current at point C, 𝐼1 = 𝐼1 (cos Ο†1 βˆ’ j sin Ο†1) = 100 (0Β·707 βˆ’ j 0Β·707) = (70Β·7βˆ’ j 70Β·7) A
Current in section CB,𝐼𝐢𝐡= 𝐼2 = (160 βˆ’ j 120) A
Current in section AC,𝐼𝐴𝐢= 𝐼1+ 𝐼2
= (70Β·7 βˆ’ j 70Β·7) + (160 βˆ’ j 120)= (230Β·7 βˆ’ j 190Β·7) A
Voltage drop in section CB, 𝑉𝐢𝐡= 𝐼𝐢𝐡 𝑍𝐢𝐡 = (160 βˆ’ j 120) (0Β·02 + j 0Β·01) = (4Β·4 βˆ’ j 0Β·8) volts
Voltage drop in section AC, 𝑉𝐴𝐢= 𝐼𝐴𝐢 𝑍𝐴𝐢 = (230Β·7 βˆ’ j 190Β·7) (0Β·04 + j 0Β·02) = (13Β·04 βˆ’ j 3Β·01) volts
Voltage drop in the distributor = 𝑉𝐴𝐢 + 𝑉𝐢𝐡 = (13Β·04 βˆ’ j 3Β·01) + (4Β·4 βˆ’ j 0Β·8) = (17Β·44 βˆ’ j 3Β·81) volts
Magnitude of drop = 17.44 2 + 3.81 2 = 17Β·85 V

 A single phase ring distributor ABC is fed at A. The loads at B
and C are 20 A at 0.8 p.f. lagging and 15 A at 0.6 p.f. lagging
respectively ; both expressed with reference to the voltage at
A. The total impedance of the three sections AB, BC and CA
are (1 + j 1), (1+ j2) and (1 + j3) ohms respectively. Find the
total current fed at A and the current in each section. Use
Thevenin’s theorem to obtain the results.
