comparison between Feeder and Distribution

1 Answer

Answer :

Sr.No
Feeder
Distributor
1 It is link between receiving substation & distribution transformer  
It is link between distribution transformer substation & consumer 
2 It is also called as a High Tension Line
It is also called as a low Tension Line 
3 It is a 3-Ph, 3 wire system.(R-Y-B)
It is a 3-Ph, 4 wires system. (R-Y-BN) 
4 Feeder voltage is 11KV/22KV/33KV depending upon load 
Distributor voltage is for 3-ph consumer- 400V and 1-Ph consumer 230V 
5 Feeder is high capacity conductors. 
Distributors are low capacity conductors 
6 Feeder forms the primary distribution system 
Distributors forms secondary distributor system. 
7 While designing feeder its current carrying capacity is important
While designing distributor its voltage drop calculation is important
8 Feeder is not tapped along its length 
Distributors are tapped throughout its length. 
9 Its loading point is at substation only  
Distributors loading point is throughout its length.
