A. Its current carrying capacity
B. Voltage Drop in it
C. operating Voltage
D. Operating Frequency
Answer: A. Its current carrying capacity
Explanation:
- Feeders are the conductors which have a large current carrying capacity
- The feeders connect the substation to the area where power is to be finally distributed to the consumers.
- It feeds to power end distributor
- No tapings are taken from the feeders
- The feeder current always remains constant
- The voltage drop along the feeder is compensated by compounding the generator
Feeder:
- A line or conductor which connects the major substations to the distributor is known as a feeder.
- It feeds the electrical power to the distributor.
- Since no tapping is taken from the feeder, generally it carries the same current through its length.
- The current carrying capacity is the main consideration taken into account while designing a feeder.
Distributor:
- A line or conductor to which various consumers are connected through service mains is known as a distributor.
- It is distributed electrical power among various consumers. thus s number of tappings are taken from the distributor.
Service mains:
- A line that connects the consumer to the distributor is known as service mains.
- It is designed as per the connected load of the consumer.
