F Calculation of Voltage Drop

V1 = Voltage Drop at Trafo Sec Term. = Running Current in pu X Impedance upto Trafo Sec Term. = It x Zt
V2 = Voltage drop in Cable1 = Running current in p.u X Cable Impedance in p.u = It x Zc1
V3 = Voltage drop in Cable-2 = Running current in p.u X Cable Impedance in p.u = It x Zc2
Total Voltage Drop HV Swgr-2 = V1 + V2 + V3 in p.u
Total Voltage Drop upto HV Swgr-2 in KV = Total Voltage drop in p.u X Base Voltage in KV
=

V4 =Voltage available at HV Swgr-2 in KV = Load Voltage in KV- Voltage Drop in KV =

% Voltage Drop at HV Swgr-2 = ((Load Voltage - V4)/Load Volatge) X 100
