Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFRing main AC distribution scheme
A ring main distribution system comprises of feeders connected in a closed loop or ring configuration, with distributors tapped from different points along the ring.
Advantages of ring main distribution system:
- There are fewer voltage fluctuations at consumer's terminal.
- The system is very reliable as each distribution transformer is fed with two feeders. That means, in the event of a fault in any section of the feeder, the continuity of the supply is ensured from the alternative path.
Explanation
In a ring main AC distribution scheme, the factor that plays an important role in determining the transmitting end and receiving end voltage is Power factor.
This indicates the efficiency of the power system and the phase difference between voltage and current. It affects voltage drop across transmission lines and transformers, impacting the receiving end voltage.
