 Description of the state of Feeder line R2
The system abnormality in the feeder line R2 started at 23/12/2022 12:10 with Line Voltages
Vab and Vbc dropping to 13.839KV from their usual value of 14.5KV. Then at 27/12/2022 19:10
line voltages Vab and Vbc changed to 10.377KV and 4.493KV respectively. The power factor of
feeder line R2 before 23/12/2022 12:10 was around 0.984 which is categorized as good power
factor. But the power factor of feeder line R2 at 27/12/2022 19:10 was around 0.944 which is
categorized as poor power factor. Finally, the power factor of feeder line R2 at DATE 9/9/2023 16:35
was around 0.866 which is close to be categorized as bad power factor.

According to above history description the Feeder line R2 clearly has a problem related to line Voltage
unbalance and bad power factor when compared to Feeder lines R3 and R1 (i.e. they still have good
power factor which is around 0.99). R1 and R3 have balanced and accepted voltage values (around
14.6KV for each Line to Line Voltage). But measured values obtained from scada must be compared to
the values that are measured in the field during maintenance operation since some times the scada
system can log values that do not represent what is in the actual field.

The above type of power abnormality can also have effect on scada communication devices and this
may me be the main reason for communication abnormity that has been seen on Feeder line R2 since
the power abnormality was present.
