Assume that each customer's maximum demand is 15.5 kW + j7.5 kvar. The
impedance of the single-phase lateral is z = 0.4421 + j0.3213 2/1000 ft. The
four transformers are rated as
T1 and T2: 37.5 kVA, 2400-240 V, Z = 0.01 + j0.03 per unit
T3 and T4: 50 kVA, 2400-240 V, Z = 0.015 + j0.035 per unit
Use the DF's in Table 1 and determine the following:
(a) Determine the total 15 min maximum diversified kW and
kvar demands on each transformer.
(b) The 15 min maximum diversified kW and kvar demands for
each line section.
(c) If the voltage at node 1 is 2600/0 V, determine the voltage at
nodes 2 through 9. In calculating the voltages, take into account
diversity using the answers from (a) and (b).
(d) Take the maximum diversified demand from node 1 to node
2 and "allocate" that to each of the four transformers based on their kVA
ratings. To do this, take the maximum diversified demand and divide it
by 175 (total kVA of the four transformers). Now multiply each
transformer's kVA rating by that number to give how much of the total
diversified demand is being served by each transformer. Again, calculate
all the voltages.
(e) Compute the percent differences in the voltages for parts (c)
and (d) at each of the nodes using part (c) answer as the base.
