    This document discusses electric power transmission and distribution systems. It explains that multiple generating stations can be interconnected to improve reliability and reduce spare plants required. It also describes that primary transmission uses high voltages from 66kV to 400kV on overhead lines to substations, while secondary transmission reduces the voltage for distribution. Distribution then involves networks from large main substations down to smaller secondary substations and local circuits to provide power to individual customers.

    1.Several generating stations can be interconnected. The main advantages
    are
    (I) reduction in the number of spare plants required as one station can
    assist the other at the time of emergency.
    (ii) During light loads one station or some generators can be shut off, thus
    affecting operational economy.

    2. Primary electric power transmission:


    High voltages of the order of 66 kV 132 kV 220 kV and 400 kV are used for
    transmitting power by 3 phase 3 wire overhead system. This is supplied to
    substations usually at the out skirts of major distribution center or city.

    3. Secondary electric power transmission:


    The primary voltage is reduced to low values of the order of 3.3 kV, 11 kV
    or 33 kV for secondary transmission.

    4. Primary electric power distribution:


    The transmission lines or inner connectors terminate at large main
    substations from which the power is distributed to small secondary
    substations scattered throughout the load area. The voltage may range
    from 11 kV to 132 kV.

    5. Secondary electric power distribution:


    This consists of the low-voltage network laid along the streets, localities
    and over the rural areas. From these sources connections to individual
    customers are provided. The circuit used for this purpose is 3 phase 4 wire,
    440 V/220 V from which either 3 phase 440 V or single phase 220 V supply
    to the consumers may be provided.

    6. System layout of electric power transmission and distribution:


    From the power stations PS, emanate 3 phase feeder supplying secondary
    distributions substations located at points throughout the supply area. The
    normal voltages are 132 kV, 33 kV and 11 kV.
