E N D
Purpose of the Test Feeder • Requires Modeling of all possible • Overhead lines • Underground lines • Voltage regulator connections • Transformer connections • Induction machines • Secondary systems • Provides a teaching tool for the new distribution engineer
Overhead Lines • Three-phase 4 wire • Three-phase 3 wire • Two-phase 3 wire • Two-phase 2 wire • Single-phase 2 wire • Single-phase triplex • Three-phase quadraplex • Parallel lines
Underground Cable Lines • Three 1/3 concentric neutral cables + 1 ground wire • Three 1/3 concentric neutral cables • Two concentric neutral cables with full neutrals • Two tape shielded cables + 1 ground wire • One full concentric neutral cable
Transformer Connections • Three-phase with and without center tap • Grd. Y – Grd Y • Grd. Y – D • Ungrd. Y – D • D – Grd. Y • Open Y – D • Open D – D • Single-phase with and without center tap • Grd. Y – D • D – Grd. Y (no center tap) • D - D
Step Voltage Regulators • Three single-phase connected • Y – Y • D – D • Two single-phase connected: • Open D – Open D • One single-phase connected Grd. Y
Induction Machines • Three-phase generator with specified kW • Three-phase motor with specified slip • Three-phase motor with specified kW • Three-phase motor with specified kW and power factor
Loads • Spot and Distributed (ZIP Loads) • Y with specified kW and kvar • Y with specified Z • Y with specified current • D – with specified kW and kavr • D – with specified Z • D – with specified current
Parallel Lines • Overhead on common pole • Common sending end node • Separate receiving end nodes • Underground cables • In common trench • Common sending end node • Receiving end • Common • Or separate
Voltage Regulation • All customer voltages within ANSI standard of between 126 and 114 volts • Voltage regulator settings • Voltage level – desired voltage at the load center • Compensator R and X settings – equivalent impedance between regulator and the load center • Bandwidth –
Substation Regulator • Three single-phase connected Y – Y • Load center node 717 • Voltage level = 123 volts • R + jX = 4.7 + j3.4 volts • Bandwidth = 2 volts • Load center(node 717) voltages = 121.9, 122.5 and 121.6 • Final taps = +12, +10 and + 12
Node 735 voltages = 115.1, 117.4 and 114.0 Low Voltages
How To Correct Low Voltages • Shunt capacitors at node 731 • 900 kvar three-phase • Voltages still low • New voltage regulator at node 717 • CT primary ratio = 200 • PT ratio = 120 • Load center = node 735 • Voltage level = 122 volts
Compensator R & X Settings • Node voltages and line currents
Reg – 4 Settings • Voltage Level = 125 • R = 1.3 volts • X = 0.5 volts • Bandwidth = 2 volts
Transformer Connections • Grounded Y-D Open Y - D • Ungrounded Y -D
UG Current Flows • With SW-3 closed • With SW-3 Open
Induction Generator Studies • Transformer T9 Connections • Delta-Delta • Ungrounded Wye – Delta • Grounded Wye – Delta • Generator – Delta Connected • On – Supplying 150 kW to the system • Off
Delta – Delta Connection • Generator On: • Generator Off:
Ungrounded Wye - Delta • Generator On: • Generator Off:
Grounded Wye - Delta • Generator On: • Generator Off:
