GENERATING STATION, TRANSMISSION AND DISTRIBUTION NETWORK OF ELECTRICITY
Stages of a Power network
The flow of electrical power from the generating station to the consumer is
called an electrical power system or electrical supply system. It consists of the
following important components :
1. Generating station 2. Transmission network 3. Distribution
Network
1. Primary Transmission
It is basically with the help of overhead transmission lines. For the economic
aspects, the voltage level is increased to 132 KV, 220 KV or more, with the help of
step up transformer. Hence this transmission is also called high voltage
transmission. The primary transmission uses 3 phase 3 wire system.
2. Secondary Transmission
The primary transmission line continues via transmission towers till the receiving
stations. There can be more than one receiving stations. Then at reduced voltage
level of 22 KV or 33 KV, the power is then transmitted to various substations using
overhead 3 phase 3 wire system. This is secondary transmission.

GENERATING STATION, TRANSMISSION AND DISTRIBUTION NETWORK OF ELECTRICITY
3. Primary Distribution
At the substation the voltage level is reduced to 6.6 KV, 3.3 KV or 11 KV with
the help of step down transformers. This is primary distribution, also called
high voltage distribution. For the large consumers like factories and industries,
the power is directly transmitted to such loads from a substation.
4. Secondary Distribution
At the local distribution centers, there are step down distribution

transformers. The voltage level of 6.6 KV, 11 KV is further reduced to 400 V
using distribution transformers. Close to consumers the voltage stepped
down to 415 V and 240 V at local secondary distribution substations and
finally delivered to domestic, commercial and small-scale industrial
customers through either lines or underground cables.
Components of Distribution
• Sub station- 22kv to 33kv(reduced to 3.3 KV to 3.6 KV). Then using feeder
• Feeder- connect to substation, No tapping are taken from feeder.
• Distributor – Distribution center to consumers. Tapping taken for the supply to
the consumers
• Service mains- small cable b/w distributor & the actual consumers premises.

Electrical Distribution System
Primary distribution systems
• The primary distribution system is that part of the

electrical distribution system between
the distribution substation
and distribution transformers.
• It is made up of circuits called primary feeder or

distribution feeders. The most commonly used
primary distribution voltages are 11 KV, 6.6 KV &
3.3 KV.
• Primary distribution is carried out by 3- phase, 3-

wire system.

Electrical Distribution System
Secondary distribution systems
• Secondary distribution system between the primary

feeders and utilization equipment. Consists of step-
down transformers and secondary circuits at
utilization voltage levels.
• Residential secondary systems are generally single-
phase, but commercial and industrial buildings get
three phase.
• In residential and rural areas the nominal supply is a
220 V, single-phase.
• In commercial or industrial areas, where motor loads
are predominant, the common three-phase system
voltages are 220 V and 440 V.
• Secondary voltages occur after the distribution
transformer.

Secondary Distribution System
• In large buildings the type of distribution depends on the building type, dimension, the length of supply
cables, and the loads. The distribution system can be divided in to:-
• The vertical supply system (rising mains).

• The horizontal supply (distribution at each floor level).
SINGLE

The vertical supply system are implemented in several ways, some of which are :

The vertical supply system (rising mains)
Single rising main:-
In this type of system only one main line goes to the upper level and
distribute at each floor respectively. Not very common in practice, generally
used at place where high supply security system is not important.
Advantages
• The different loads on individual floors are balanced out.

• Only a small main L.V. board is required.
• Simple in construction and operation.
Disadvantage
• Low supply security (a fault in the rising mains effect all floors).

Grouped supply-
In this type of system two or more main lines run together and serves
different floors.
Applicable for the high rise buildings.
Advantages
• Easier mounting.
• Smaller size for rising mains.
Disadvantage
• A fault in any rising mains effect several floors (relatively low
Security).
• Loads are balanced only within each group.
• Larger power distribution board.
Individual floor supply:-
In high rise buildings were stories are let separately (metering is at

central point at ground floor).
Advantages
• Smaller size of cables can be used (easy installation).
• In the case of a fault in a rising main, only one story is affected.
Disadvantage
• Different loading of the individual floors cannot be balanced out.
• The rising main must be rated for the peak load of each floor.
• Uneconomical – large number of cables and the size of the rising
main shaft is quite large.
• Large low voltage distribution board with numerous circuits
Ring main supply:-
Advantages
• Higher power supply security (in the event of a fault, it is possible to
switch off the faulty part and leave the majority of the building
operational)
• A small low voltage distribution board is required.
• The differing loading of individual floor are balanced out (smaller sizes
for rising mains)
Disadvantage

Double feed supply:-
In large buildings with relatively large loads at the top floors (lifts, Kitchen,
air-conditioning).
Advantages
• Higher power supply security.

• The differing loading of individual floors are balanced out.
• Smaller L.V. distribution board required.
Disadvantage

The horizontal supply (Distribution at each floor level):-
Double feed supply:-
• Normally HV switchgear and substation transformers are

installed at ground floor (or basement).
• However, often there are appliances with large power

demand installed on the top floors (converters and motors
for lifts, air-conditioning equipment and electric kitchens).
• The arrangement of the rising mains depends on the size and

shape of the building and suitable size of shafts for installing
cables and bus ducts must be provided in coordination with the
building architect.

DISTRIBUTION SYSTEMS IN BUILDINGS
 At all levels of the distribution in buildings solid connections to
various service cables or bus bar trunking systems are established
by main and sub-main distribution boards. These provide;
o easy installation
o easy maintenance and
o safe operation
at every levels of installation systems.
 At main distribution level main distribution boards are used for;  Both distribution boards are equipped with;
o Safety disconnection o Circuit breakers
o Protecting bus bars o Isolators
o MCCBs
 At sub-distribution level, sub-distribution boards are used for: o MCBs
o Safety disconnection for maintenance
o Switching lighting and power loads
o Protecting all electrical cables and bus bars and loads.
o Control, metering and measuring purposes.
