BACKGROUND
CHAPTER 3
DISTRIBUTION
Electric power distribution is the final stage in the delivery of electric power; it carries
electricity from the transmission system to individual consumers. Distribution substations
connect to the transmission system and lower the transmission voltage to
medium voltage ranging between 2 kV and 35 kV with the use of transformers.
Primary distribution lines carry this medium voltage power to distribution
transformers located near the customer's premises. Distribution transformers again lower the
voltage to the utilization voltage used by lighting, industrial equipment or household
appliances. Often several customers are supplied from one transformer
through secondary distribution lines. Commercial and residential customers are connected to
the secondary distribution lines through service drops. Customers demanding a much larger
amount of power may be connected directly to the primary distribution level or the sub
transmission level.
CHAPTER 4
ELECTRIC POLES
The normally electrical pole which we use is PCC and RCC pole. The full form of PCC pole
is plain cement concrete and the full form of RCC pole is reinforced cement concrete. The
plain cement concrete pole is made with cement and concrete, the PCC pole has low
mechanical strength. The reinforced cement concrete is made with cement concrete and some
rods to increase the strength of the pole, the RCC pole has high mechanical strength.
The weight of 8 meter RCC pole is more between 420 to 450 kg, the pole has three holes at
the top to fix cross arm of diameter 18 mm as shown in the above figure. The depth of
planting or digging for an 8-meter pole is 1.5m. The top width of the electric pole is 145 mm
and the bottom width is 290 mm . The weight of the 9 meter RCC pole is somewhat more
600 kg. The top width of the pole is 185mm and the bottom weight of the pole is 355 mm.

11 KV class lightning arrestors are used and lightning arrestors are fixed at the top of the DP
structure as you can see in the above image. The function of the lightning arrestor is to protect
the transformer from lightning tenders. When the lightning occurs and falls on structure the
lightning arrestor transfers lightning stocks to the ground and thus protect the transformer. A
total of three lightning arrestors is provided.
4.3.2 Fuse
Fig 4.2
It is called horn gap fuse for the protection of the transformer from overload and short circuit
current.When overhead occurs on the ht line (11KV line), the fuse will isolate the circuit and
thus protect the transformer.
4.3.3 GOS
Fig 4.3
The most commonly used switch in small to medium substations is a gang-operated, air-break
disconnect switch. "Gang-operated" because the three separate switches for each phase are
operated as a group from a single control; "air-break" because the switch operates in air rather
than in another medium, such as oil.
The purpose of this switch is to disconnect the substation from the incoming line, not to
disconnect the transformer from the load. It is like a large safety switch with no load breaking
capability. It can only break, or "interrupt" the relatively small "magnetizing current" of the
substation transformer. (This is the small amount of current needed to set up the magnetic
field in the transformer core.) A substation must first be disconnected from its secondary or
load side before the primary or high voltage side can be disconnected using the disconnect
switch.
The main purpose of the transformer is to step down the voltage from 11 KV to 440 volts
( three phases) or 230 volts (single-phase)

Cross Arm is a cross-piece fitted to the pole top end portion by means of brackets, known as
pole brackets, for supporting insulators. Cross arms are of various types such as MS channel,
angle iron or wooden. These may be straight, U-shaped, Ushaped or zigzag shaped. Wooden
cross arms are commonly employed on 11 KV and 33 KV lines. These are made of sal wood,
seasoned Sheridan wood or creosoted firewood.Wooden cross arms are preferred owing to
their insulating property which provides safety to line staff and minimizes flash-over due to
the bridge.
The usual lengths and x-sections of wooden cross arms in use are 1.5m×125mm×125mm for
11 KV lines and 2.1m×125mm×125mm for 11 KV lines and 2.1m×125m×125mm for 33 KV
lines. Wooden cross arms need replacement owing to decay after 5-7 years depending upon
weather conditions .Steel cross arms are stronger and are generally used on steel poles. For lv
distribution, the angle iron or channel iron cross arms shall be of a size not less than
50mm×50mm×6.4mm and 76mm×38mm.The length of the cross arms shall be suitable for the
spacing of the conductors .Cross arms shall be suitable and strong enough to withstand the
resultant forces caused by insulators, their pins, and deadweight of insulator attachments, etc.
To avoid bridge on HT lines, V-shaped cross arms are used with pin insulators while straight
cross arms are used with disc insulators. The cross arm is fixed to the pole in such a manner
that the load of the conductors is taken by the cross arm and not the clamp or bolt that fixes
the cross arm to the pole.

CHAPTER 5
GUARDING
A guarding is provided for the safety of life, installation, and communication circuits.
The guarding for 11 KV lines is provided at road crossings, canal crossings, railway crossing,
crossing over lt lines or communication lines. Regarding guarding of line crossings or
approaching each other IER 87 provides all-important guidelines, IER(Indian Electricity
Rule) 88 provides that every guard wire shall be connected with the earth at each point at
which electrical continuity is broken. Every guard wire should have sufficient current-
carrying the capacity to ensure the circuit rendering dead, without risk of fusing of the guard
wire or wires till the contact of any line wire has been removed There are various other rules
relating to guarding where lines cross trolley wires as mentioned in sub rule (5) of IER 88.

INSULATORS
6.1 Pin Insulator
A pin insulator is a device that isolates a wire from a physical support such as a pin (a wooden
or metal dowel of about 3 cm diameter with screw threads) on a telegraph or utility pole. It is
a formed, single layer shape that is made out of a non-conducting material, usually porcelain
Fig 6.1
or glass. It is thought to be the earliest developed overhead insulator and is still popularly used
in power networks up to 33 KV. Single or multiple pin insulators can be used on one physical
support, however, the number of insulators used depends upon the application's voltage.
The insulation unit is made of fibreglass. The protective ribbed mold is made of silicon
organic rubber. Flanges are made of anti-rust alloy thus providing safe long-term operation
under various climatic conditions.
Insulation section – an element bearing mechanical and electric loads and consisting of
insulation core unit covered with protective mould.
Insulation core unit – a rod made of composite dielectric substance – fibreglass, as a rule
(tar reinforced with fibreglass) or consisting of separate elements assembled at the unit in a
particular order.

6.6.6 GI wire
Full-form of GI wire is Galvanized Iron wire, which is mostly used for fencing of all
purposes. Galvanization (the process of applying a protective zinc coating to steel or iron, to
prevent rusting) has two types, one is electroplated galvanization and second is hot dip
galvanization.

CHAPTER 8
CONCLUSION
In recent years, alongside with the fast increasing electric power necessity, the construction of power
network is becoming more vital. Stability of AC distribution systems and efficiency there will be
huge demand for power compensation. Hence the company and MESCOM sub division koppa,
provide me a good knowledge of electrical power distribution system and the cost data of various
material used in the power distribution system.
WORKING EXPERIENCE
My working experience includes coordinating the site and build the electrical power
distribution in overhead facilities at MESCOM sub division koppa, also provide the
engineering supports to the employees in overhead operation. I learned installation and
erection of all overhead line parameters such as transformer, cables, pole structures,
insulators, GOS, lightning arresters etc.
