AbstractThe main objective of presenting this paper is to enlighten the importance of a High Voltage Distribution System
(HVDS) which has a better voltage profile and high quality of supply. In India, the average transmission and distribution
losses have been officially indicated as 23% of the electricity generated, because of the fact of usage of existing distribution
transformers (DTR). Energy is transformed into many intermediate stages before it reaches the consumer. The analysis of
present condition of electric supply and laying down the general outlines of the economical distribution system in order to
distribute the power safely without affecting the performance of a system is important. Hence to overcome all these
problems, implementation of high voltage distribution system is considered as the best move to enhance the performance of
distribution system.
Keywords Distribution transformer, High Voltage Distribution System, voltage profile.

A. DRAWBACKS OF LV DISTRIBUTION
SYSTEM
The drawbacks of Low Voltage Distribution Systems
are as follows: (i) Higher losses, poor tail end
voltages, more fluctuations in voltage, frequent cuts,
fuse blowouts and motor burns which occur almost
twice in each cropping period of 100 days. (ii) Due to
frequent failures in distribution transformer, its
maintenance and repair requires high expenditure.
Due to delay in replacement or repair of failed
distribution transformers, there is a great loss in
standing crops. (iii) To monitor unauthorized hooking
or tapping the bare conductors of low tension (433 V)
feeder or tampered service lines is really very
difficult. (iv) In case of any failure in three-phase
large capacity distribution transformer, entire unit is to
be replaced or repaired which consumes more time.
B. BENEFITS OF HVDS
The advantages of H.T. distribution compared to
conventional L.T. distribution system are as follows:
(i) The registered customers feel ownership by not
allowing others to meddle with low tension network.
Thus, the chances of running illegal motors and
unauthorized hooking of loads will be prevented. (ii)
Due to reduction in KVA capacity, voltage drop on
low voltage lines is negligible thereby, improving
voltage profile by minimizing the voltage fluctuations.
(iii) The single phase motors have built in capacitors
and their power factor is more than 0.95 causing low
energy losses. (iv) Smaller size conductors of
aluminum or high conductivity steel wire can be
