An intermediary voltage between high voltage and low voltage.

I previously wrote 69kV and 34.5kV were distribution level voltages. This is not true, these are generally considered "sub Transmission" level. Anything below ~ 33kV and above ~1kV is considered distribution. Common voltages of this range I've seen are 2.4kV, 12.5kV, 13.8kV.

What is the Use of distribution transformer?

A transmission transformer steps the voltage up to a very high value so electricity can travel long distances on transmission lines from the power plant to a city or area with low loss. A distribution transformer steps the high voltage back down to a level that can be used for local distribution and use by businesses and homes.


How is 4160 voltage made?

Well first we need to generate voltage from electrical generator. Then if voltage are below 4160 volt step up Transformer is used and if voltage are above 4160 volt step down Transformer is used. Generally voltage produced from generator are low so we need to step up voltage to higher values such as 240 kilo volt to transmit them to longer distances to reduce power losses.


What is low voltage distribution system?

In the Typical sense its anything 50 volts or below. When speaking of service voltages its 600 volts or below. The threshold of 50 volts is believed to be the point where skin will resist shock so a lessor hazard is encountered. Type your answer here...


What if a number of outlets in your house read 125 volts and the others read 123 volts?

This small discrepancy in voltages is of no concern. Depending on where in the circuit and from which side of the bus bars in the distribution panel the reading was taken will account for the difference. Your voltage is a little high but the utility company's transformer may be right outside your home and that will account for the high voltage. This is done so as to keep the voltage at a nominal value for the people that are connected to the same circuit down the street.


True or False - The primary job of the distributor is to convert low voltage to high voltage?

False. The primary job of the distributor is to transport electricity from the transmission system to the distribution system and then deliver it to end users at lower voltages. The conversion of voltage levels is typically done by transformers at substations, not by the distributor.

How can voltage drop in radial distribution be minimized?

Voltage drop can be minimized in a radial distribution by increasing the cross-sectional area of the conductors.


What is the function of transformer 33kv?

A '33-kV transformer' is a three-phase primary-distribution transformer, used in the UK's electricity system to step down the 33-kV primary-distribution voltage to the 11-kV secondary-distribution voltage -the lowest voltage used in the high-voltage distribution system. These transformers are categorised as 'power transformers', and are located in what are termed 'primary substations'.

How do you solve low voltage in electricity problems?

low voltage problem may arise due to unbalancing of distribution transformer in your area. please ask your electricity provider to balance load on distribution transformer.


What is the difference between primary electrical distribution and secondary distribution?

Primary electrical distribution carries medium voltage power to distribution transformers near the customers. Secondary electrical distribution transfers the power from the transformer to the households.


What is the relationship between the voltage inside a uniformly charged sphere and the distribution of charge within the sphere?

The voltage inside a uniformly charged sphere is directly related to the distribution of charge within the sphere. As the charge distribution becomes more uniform, the voltage inside the sphere becomes more evenly distributed. This means that the voltage is higher towards the center of the sphere where the charge is concentrated, and decreases towards the surface where the charge is spread out.

What do substations reduce the voltage for?

A: Substations step down the transmission voltage for distribution for the local area. The reason being that their input is in the range 0f 475 Kv trying to distribute that kind of hi voltage would be totally impractical because of insulation. So a substation step down the hi voltage to a distribution level of 16kv or so.


What is the electrical function of the secondary distribution centre?

An electrical distribution centre is used to distribute circuits through out the building that it supplies. An electrical panel in your home is classified as an electrical distribution panel. The electrical distribution panels come in varying sizes and voltage ratings depending on what the building requirements are. Amperages for different loads are supplied through breakers that are part of the distribution panel.
