WHAT IS A PRIMARY
DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM?
• The primary distribution system is responsible for distributing the electricity
from high-transmission lines to distribution transformers located at the user
end. Behind this system, there is a power generating station, that is producing
the power and using the transmission lines, that are kept at high voltage
levels, this power is transferred to the distribution transformers.
• The distribution system starts with 11KV and 33KV voltage levels, where
these voltage levels are directly distributed to industries and to heavy loads
like railways, etc., and is called a primary distribution system.
WHAT ARE THE PARTS OF
PRIMARY DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM?
distribution.
The main components of the primary distribution system are
many branches.
DISTRIBUTION TRANSFORMERS
vaults or rooftops.
PRIMARY FEEDER CIRCUITS
distributed.
1. The line driver, which transmits the electric power from the substation to the service mains
2. It is a link (line driver) between the supplier and the service mains.
6. The length of the distributor is usually longer than that of the service main.
7. The voltage of the distributor is higher than that of the service mains.
The service main is a conductor
meter.
