POWER LOSS IN SERVICE MAINS

Service main is the path between the utility company and consumer. Service mains used are the cables, almost PVC cables are used. Power loss through the PVC cables is an important factor, through which it is analysed and estimated that how much percentage of the power is utilised by the customer, how much power is wasted through the cables?

In this chapter power loss through secondary distribution system, PVC cables, and behaviour of the utility companies towards the consumers is thoroughly described.

Secondary distribution is taken into account so as to clarify the nature of the network and power rating of the circuit. Transformers (Step Down), conductors, structures, insulators and other fittings and fixtures are the component of the secondary system.

A Service main is the wire or path between the secondary distribution system and consumer. Service mains almost used in the distribution system are PVC cable. Manufacturing, conductor size, current rating and power loss through these cables is measured and calculated.

It is important to know the utility laws incorporated from time to time, so as to make the reliable system. During these rules and regulations effects over the consumers are essential to consider.
