1.1 Redraw the map using the desired scale of the baranggay given to you.

1.2 Draw the additional 400 residential customers for the baranggay. Draw the
additional single and three phase commercial, institutional & industrial
customers using one blue print. Using the same map, lay out the transmission
line route. Place the transmission line post by using a span of 150 ft. Next,
connect the service entrance conductor of each of the customers conductor to
the nearest electrical post.

1.3 Provide the secondary line route. The brgy. must have a minimum of 3
secondary lines.

single phase customers only. Three phase customers must be
connected in part 2.

1.5 Using an overhead transmission lines, stranded copper conductor, determine

the kva rating of the transformers required, the location and designation is
predetermined, to serve different groups of customers including the street lights
within the area to be serve by each transformer. Indicate in the distribution map
the location of these transformers.

1.6 Determine the sizes of the secondary distribution lines or feeders to be used.
The size of the line will be determined not only for its adequate current carrying
capacity but also for the voltage drop from the distribution transformer to the
end of each branch circuit of the secondary line. The voltage drop shall not
exceed 3 % of the secondary distribution voltage of 230 volts.

institutional as well as the additional three phase commercial, institutional & industrial
customers together with its service transformer including three phase loads in part 1. .
Additional customers may be added as desired.

2.2 Determine the sizes of the primary distribution feeders to be used. The size of the line
shall be determine not only for its adequate current carrying capacity but also for the
voltage drop from the power plants substation to the end of each branch circuit.
Primary voltage drop shall not exceed 5 % of the primary distribution voltage of
4.62 kv.

2.3 Show on the primary distribution map the route of the primary line from the power
plants substation to all the distribution transformers

2.4 Show the detailed transformer connection to the secondary and primary lines
including detailed post attachment scheme. Include detailed branch circuit
connection. Indicate on a table the manner to what phase a particular transformer is
connected.

2.5 Indicate on a table the transposition point of the 3-Ø primary lines.

Due date April 6, 2020 ( Leave a copy of your own of what you will submit )
What to submit: Output of 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, 2.4 and 2.5. All solutions must be submitted in a
