Abstract :

In this article, we discuss the calculation of load and current imbalance rates, which is a steady-state study of the distribution network that consists of determining, for each subscriber station, the operating rate of the installed power transformer and the current difference between two phases of the MV/LV distribution station. Knowing the allowable currents of each low-voltage phase of the subscriber substations from the busbars as well as the rated current of the substations transformer, we can calculate, secondly, the average currents and load factors of the substations including the differences between the currents and their unbalance factors in the low-voltage distribution power lines. The mathematical equations of the electrical quantities of the power system facilitate the evaluation of the performance of the power transformer. These equations confirm that the variation in load ratio and current imbalance of three phases are closely related to the current draw of the allowable loads at each phase.
