Answer / vinay gupta

A consumer may suffer from low voltage because of one or
more following reasons:
1.Due to power generation at low voltage at generating end.
2.Due to low power factor, bcoz of which more current to be
carried out for meeting the same load and hence line losses
increases which is responsible for the low voltage.
3.Due to over load.
4.The voltage drop across the conductor or cables is the
major cause of low voltage.

Answer / mani

The low voltage mostly in the peak hours why because that
time more number of consumers are using the power.So the
voltage will get reduced on the distribution line.

Answer / manjifera

its because of lagging power factor due to inductive load
e.g mixer grienders,motors,transformers. which dont have
capacitors to supress lagging current.

Answer / lavanya

during power transmission at the grid there is low voltage
and high currents and when it passes through different
substations it step downs and at that time there is high
voltage and when it comes to house hold purposes there is
low voltage in this ohms law does not work

Answer / austin kpoto

The technical malfunctions and reason are many here are few

1. One possible cause should be main conductor load phsae
are over loader or cabe to consumer not the recommended
size.

2. In properely load balancing to pahses

3. Faults AVR output

4. loose conductor from main breaker box to consumer

Answer / rajeshsan

When the customer at load end is very long from the source. Due to voltage drop the customer located at very long will fall low voltage. Hence, the Electricity Board will install the service transformer at regular interval.

We use ungrounded DC system (220V/110V) for control and protection system in substations etc. Suppose we have long 2 core DC cables running from our DCDB in control room to the load (length of around 2 to 3 km). Do we need to protect these long DC cables from earth leakages or not? If yes how?
