why we step down voltage level from 33kv to 11kv and 11kv
to 415v.Instead we can step down voltage from 33kv to 415v
directly using single transformer.

Answer Posted / sathish.su

Normally substation is far away from city or villages. So
if we are transmit 415 v supply then the current rating and
copper loss and conductor thickness everything is high. If
we transmit 11Kv supply means the losses and current rating
and conductor size will be less. So we step down to 11 kv
first then step down at 415v.

A commercial Building is designed with 14th floor levels with indoor substation of three phase transformer with rated capacity of 1000 Kva.The transformer delivered 65% of its rated capacity at 0.67 power factor lagging.Because of low power factor, the power customer was penalized and certain cost was charged accordingly based on every point percentage lower than 85%.This situation may repeatedly happen on the succeding energy bills of power customer.The power customer is desired to improve its historical power factor of 0.67 lagging and no further penalty be impose by the local power company on the next bill.
