equipments & installations belongs to the customer's building/facility and could be
used by the customer in future. It is to be estimated before applying any demand
factor or diversity factor. It is expressed in Volt-Amperes (VA).

Demand Load (DL) :

It is the individual maximum demand load of a customer's building's unit usually
occurring during the peak loading period (either estimated or measured). It must be
calculated from the connected load of that customer's building's multiply by the
approved demand factor of that customer's building's unit. It is expressed in Volt-
Amperes (VA).
 𝐷𝑒𝑚𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝐿𝑜𝑎𝑑 = 𝐶𝑜𝑛𝑛𝑒𝑐𝑡𝑒𝑑 𝐿𝑜𝑎𝑑 × 𝐷𝑒𝑚𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝐹𝑎𝑐𝑡𝑜𝑟

8.0 LOCATIONS OF DISTRIBUTION SUBSTATIONS SITES

Substations can be installed at a number of locations such as followings :

 Insets of Customers lots
 Municipality land, e.g. open spaces , Schools , mosques , Car Parking , Gardens
, Public Places etc.
For area electrification SEC will negotiate with the developer or the local
Municipality for the land and locations required for substations.
When preliminary design of a residential area has been completed and optimum
substation sites required have been determined it is essential to indicate the same
to the area developer which may be private owner, Municipality, or Ministry of
Housing for the provision of the easements for SEC facilities including substations
and ring main units.
 The preferred substation type will be the unit substation and will be installed
in all cases except where extensible HV switch gear is required.
 The preferred locations are on the services area and Municipality land, e.g.,
open spaces, schools, mosques, car parks, etc.
 The substation should be located on asphalted or leveled roads so that the
medium voltage cables can be laid without any hindrance or difficulty.
 The substation shall be installed at the load center as far as geographically
possible to minimize LV cables length.

Size of Inset for Distribution Substation :

Size of Inset for Distribution Substation depends on the different rating of this
Distribution Substation as shown below in Table (10).
Table (10)
Distribution Substations Rating (KVA) Site Dimensions (m2)
300 , 500 , 1000 4 x 2 meters

10.0 PRINCIPLES OF DESIGN

The Low voltage networks (also called secondary network) are connected at one end
and have no facility of back-feeding.

The following objectives should be achieved in the design of low voltage networks
taking into account all prevailing safety and reliability standards :

 Satisfaction of Customer Coincident Demand Load.

 Equipment ratings are not exceeded.

 The LV cable(s) shall not be loaded more than 80% of its rated capacity.
 The Distribution Pillars shall not be loaded more than 80% of its rated
capacity.
  The loading of the Distribution Transformers shall not exceed 80% of full load
rated capacity (KVA).

 Voltage Drops are within allowable limits:

 Service Voltage at customer supply interface point must be within  5% of
nominal voltage.
 Voltage Drop at customer supply interface point shall not exceed 5% of
nominal voltage.

 The design is the most economical (Low Cost) for the projected load and layout.

10.1 CUSTOMER'S COINCIDENT DEMAND LOAD

Estimation of Customer's Coincident Demand Load should be referred to SEC

Distribution Planning Standards No. (DPS-01, Rev.02) named (Estimation of
Customer Load Guideline) with its latest updates.

10.2 COINCIDENT DEMAND LOAD ON LV NETOWRK ELEMENTS

The following Formula should be used to calculate the Coincident Demand Load
(CDL) on any LV Network Element for the group of all KWH Meters supplied by that
LV Network Element as below.

𝐶𝐷𝐿 𝑜𝑛 𝑁𝑒𝑡𝑤𝑜𝑟𝑘 = (∑ 𝐶𝐵𝑅𝑖 × 𝐷𝐹𝑖 ) × 𝐶𝐹(𝑁)

𝐸𝑙𝑒𝑚𝑒𝑛𝑡
𝑖=1

Where :

𝑁 = Number of all KWH Meters supplied by that LV Network Element (SS ,

DP , LV Cable).
𝐶𝐵𝑅𝑖 = Circuit Breaker Rating in (Amp) for the Individual KWH Meter no. (𝑖).
𝐷𝐹𝑖 = Demand Factor for the Individual KWH Meter no. (𝑖) which should be
determined according to the utilization nature of the concerned
Individual unit no. (𝑖) in customer's building and referring to SEC
 Distribution Planning Standards No.(DPS-01, Rev. 02) titled
(Estimation of Customer Load Guideline) with its latest updates.
𝐶𝐹(𝑁) = Coincident Factor for the group of all KWH Meters supplied by that LV
Network Element (SS , DP , LV Cable) which should be determined
according to Number of these KWH Meters (𝑁) and referring to SEC
Distribution Planning Standards No.(DPS-01, Rev. 02) titled
(Estimation of Customer Load Guideline) with its latest updates. It can
be calculated by the following equation :

0.33
(0.67 + )
𝐶𝐹(𝑁) = √𝑁
1.25

𝐹𝑜𝑟 𝑁 = 1 ⇒ 𝐶𝐹(𝑁) = 1

10.3 EQUIPMENT CHARACTERISTICS (FULL RATING & FIRM CAPACITY)

10.4 VOLTAGE DROP CALCULATION

For a particular supply voltage the voltage drop from the supply point to the
customer interface depends on various factors such as customer demand, length
and size of cable, and power factor. Formula for voltage drop is provided below :

100 × 𝐾𝑉𝐴 × (𝑅 × 𝑐𝑜𝑠 𝜑 + 𝑋 × 𝑠𝑖𝑛 𝜑) × 𝐿

𝑉𝐷% =
𝑉2

Where:
𝑉𝐷% = Voltage drop percentage on the cable in (%)
𝐾𝑉𝐴 = Three phase power in (KVA)
= Coincident Demand Load (CDL) on the cable.
𝑅 = Resistance of conductor in ohm per kilometer in (/km)
𝑋 = Inductive reactance of conductor in ohm per kilometer in (/km)
𝜑 = Power factor angle of the supply
𝑉 = Three phase supply nominal voltage in (volts)
𝐿 = Length of the cable in (meters)

The formula has reduced to a simple constant K equivalent to the product of KVA
and length of cable in meter at power factor of 0.85 lagging. For various values of
KVA-meter the voltage drop can be calculated by dividing it with this constant K.

𝑉2
𝐾=
100 × (𝑅 × 𝑐𝑜𝑠𝜑 + 𝑋 × 𝑠𝑖𝑛𝜑)
The value of the K constant changes with the supply voltage, power factor and size
and type of cable, due to the change of resistance and inductance. The calculations
of K values are shown in Table (16) below.

The values of K constant to be used for various standard LV cables are provided
hereunder in table (17):

4 x 70 mm2 (AL) 3003 2710 908

The simplified formula for Voltage Drop calculation is :

𝐾𝑉𝐴 × 𝐿
𝑉𝐷% =
𝐾
Where:
𝑉𝐷% = Voltage drop percentage on the cable in (%)
𝐾𝑉𝐴 = Three phase power in (KVA)
= Coincident Demand Load (CDL) on the cable
𝐿 = Length of the cable in (meters)
𝐾 = The constant in (V2.km/) according to Table (17) above

Note: Above Voltage Drop calculations formula are based on balanced 3-Phase
system.

Example :
Max Lengths (m) can be achieved within (5%) Voltage Drop with Loading up to Firm
Capacity (KVA) for Different Nominal Voltages (V) for Different Sizes of LV Cables are
calculated using the above formula, as shown in Table (18) below.

Voltage Drop Allocation :

The Utility voltage drop allocations listed in Table (19) shall be used as guideline
voltage drops over the power system components supplying a low voltage customer
to minimize lengths of Service Cables as possible.

the Voltage Drop calculations formula and by applying the voltage drop allocations

Factors Affecting the Voltage Drop :

Following are the other factors affecting the Voltage Drop :

a) The representation of the 3 phase, phase-phase and phase-neutral loads will be
a single phase system derived from the assumption that the load is balanced. It
 is known that the above is an over simplification and that site measurements
show that one or two phases are more heavily loaded. This real situation shows
that a correction factor is required. This is known as the unequal loading in the
phase.
b) In the SEC system, loads are mainly phase-phase with a smaller superimposed
phase-neutral load distributed over the 3 phases. The phase-neutral loads give
rise to the unequal loading in the phase.
c) Neutral current produces a voltage drop which has to be added to the phase
conductor voltage drop. The value of this neutral current which will flow is
different throughout the length of the conductor due to the vectorial addition. A
correction factor is required to allow for neutral current voltage drop.
d) The reactive impedance of the cable produces a voltage drop which is dependent
on the power factor of the loads. Power factor of 0.85 has been built into the
calculation above.
e) The resistance value of aluminum varies with temperature. In a distributor
supplying a number of customers the current is not a constant value throughout
the conductor and the temperature of the cable core will change along the length
of the conductor.
f) The rating of the cables used is very dependent upon the cyclic nature of the
load. For the period when high loads are expected on the cable a daily load factor
of less than one has been observed. Load factors lower than 0.84 allow
considerable increase in the amps/phase which the cable can safely carry.
However there is a change over point where the voltage drop along the
distributor is reached before the thermal limit is reached and there is no benefit
from an increase in the permitted amps which a cable can carry beyond those
quoted
g) Loads are assumed to be either applied as point or end loads or can be assumed
to be evenly distributed and therefore acting as end load applied at the mid-point
of the distributor length. Loads per villa are calculated in accordance with the
tabulation based on Municipality Building Permit. The tabulation has been
correlated to the Ministry of Electricity Rules.
h) The currents flowing in each branch of the distributor required to be diversified
in accordance with the Diversity Factors for Systems which have been derived
from system measurements and observations.

14. Always try first to supply customer's CDL from any existing nearby DP's (one by
one) with priority for the nearest as possible based on the criteria (Loading % ,
Voltage Drop %) before planning to install new DP.
15. Always try first to supply customer's CDL from any existing nearby SS's (one by
one) with priority for the nearest as possible based on the criteria (Loading % ,
Voltage Drop %) before planning to install new SS.
16. To supply customer's CDL from any existing DP , first check for availability of any
vacant outgoing in that DP.
17. To supply customer's CDL from any existing SS , first check for availability of any
vacant outgoing in that SS.
18. Install the new SS in the center of loads area (including : concerned new customer
, existing others nearby supply requests , nearby under constructions buildings ,
empty lots) as possible.
19. Install a new DP near to customers' lots in the center of loads (i.e. in the middle
between customers' lots) as possible.
20. Select the shortest geographic route for the LV Main Feeder (300 mm2 cable)
from SS to the new DP (as possible).
21. Select the shortest geographic route for the service cable from the new DP to
customer's location (as possible).
22. Select the shortest geographic route for the Direct Feeder from SS to the
customer's location (as possible).
23. Always try to avoid crossing the streets when you design the route of any LV cable
as possible as you can.
24. It is not allowed to cross any street with width more than 36 meters for any LV
cable rout.
25. CB/Fuse rating of the outgoing from any supply source (Substation , Distribution
Pillar) should be not lesser than the largest CB rating of all KWH Meters supplied
from this outgoing CB/Fuse. Same is valid for any two CBs/Fuses outgoings supply
customers.
26. CB/Fuse rating of the outgoing from any supply source (Substation , Distribution
Pillar) should be not lesser than the Coincident Demand Load (CDL) of all
customers KWH Meters supplied from this outgoing CB/Fuse. Same is valid for
any two CBs/Fuses outgoings supply customers.
27. Size (KVA rating) of the new SS should be selected based on the need of the
neighbor area (including : concerned new customer , existing others nearby
supply requests , nearby under constructions buildings , existing empty lots) and
it should be as minimum as sufficient to meet their total Coincident Demand Load
(CDL).
28. If multi substations are required to supply a customer , select the no. of the
required substations and their ratings from the available SEC standard (300, 500,
1000, 1500 KVA) where the summation of substations ratings should provide
minimum sufficient total capacity to meet the calculated Coincident Demand
Load (CDL) of the customer with minimum no. of substations.

29. For supplying new customers, it is preferred to use the substation with (500 KVA
or 1000 KVA) rating. This is to maintain a possibility for reinforcement of these
substations (1000 KVA & 500 KVA) by replacing them with 1500 KVA substation
without the need to install a new substation.
30. The substation with 300 KVA rating can be used in light load density area and also

KWH Meters in one box instead to use multi smaller size of Meter Boxes for same
no. of KWH Meters.
32. To supply a new customer's CDL from an existing DP , evaluation for the criteria
(Loading % , Voltage Drop %) should be based on the Coincident Demand Load
 (CDL) of all customers KWH Meters (concerned new customer + existing
customers) supplied from this DP. Only in case that the measured Maximum
Demand (MD) on that DP is greater than CDL of existing customers , so the CDL
of the concerned new customer should be corrected by the scaling of MD on DP
as shown in the following equation :
𝑀𝐷 𝑜𝑛 𝐷𝑃 𝑓𝑜𝑟 𝐸𝑥𝑖𝑠𝑡𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝐶𝑢𝑠𝑡𝑜𝑚𝑒𝑟𝑠
𝐶𝐷𝐿 𝑁𝑒𝑤 𝐶𝑢𝑠𝑡𝑜𝑚𝑒𝑟 = 𝐶𝐷𝐿 𝑁𝑒𝑤 𝐶𝑢𝑠𝑡𝑜𝑚𝑒𝑟 ×
𝐶𝑜𝑟𝑟𝑒𝑐𝑡𝑒𝑑 𝐶𝐷𝐿 𝑜𝑛 𝐷𝑃 𝑓𝑜𝑟 𝐸𝑥𝑖𝑠𝑡𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝐶𝑢𝑠𝑡𝑜𝑚𝑒𝑟𝑠
Then evaluating for the criteria (Loading % , Voltage Drop %) should be based on
summation of MD on DP and the corrected CDL of concerned new customer.
33. To supply a new customer's CDL from an existing SS , evaluation for the criteria
(Loading % , Voltage Drop %) should be based on the Coincident Demand Load
(CDL) of all customers KWH Meters (concerned new customer + existing
customers) supplied from this SS. Only in case that the measured Maximum
Demand (MD) on that SS is greater than CDL of existing customers , so the CDL of
the concerned new customer should be corrected by the scaling of MD on SS as
shown in the following equation :
𝑀𝐷 𝑜𝑛 𝑆𝑆 𝑓𝑜𝑟 𝐸𝑥𝑖𝑠𝑡𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝐶𝑢𝑠𝑡𝑜𝑚𝑒𝑟𝑠
𝐶𝐷𝐿 𝑁𝑒𝑤 𝐶𝑢𝑠𝑡𝑜𝑚𝑒𝑟 = 𝐶𝐷𝐿 𝑁𝑒𝑤 𝐶𝑢𝑠𝑡𝑜𝑚𝑒𝑟 ×
𝐶𝑜𝑟𝑟𝑒𝑐𝑡𝑒𝑑 𝐶𝐷𝐿 𝑜𝑛 𝑆𝑆 𝑓𝑜𝑟 𝐸𝑥𝑖𝑠𝑡𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝐶𝑢𝑠𝑡𝑜𝑚𝑒𝑟𝑠
Then evaluation for the criteria (Loading % , Voltage Drop %) should be based on
summation of MD on SS and the corrected CDL of concerned new customer.

The Corrected Ratings (Current Carrying Capacity) of LV Cables at SEC Service

Standard Conditions mentioned in Table (26) are calculated by applying the De-
rating Factors mentioned in Table (23) & Table (24) & Table (25) on the Cable Ratings
given in Table (3) by using the Equation above as follows :

Corrected Cable Rating (300 mm2 Cable) = 310 × 1.05 × 1.0 × 0.95 = 310 Amp
Corrected Cable Rating (185 mm2 Cable) = 230 × 1.05 × 1.0 × 0.95 = 230 Amp
Corrected Cable Rating (70 mm2 Cable) = 135 × 1.05 × 1.0 × 0.95 = 135 Amp

This concludes that the Corrected De-rated Capacity of LV Cables based on SEC
Standard Service Conditions are as shown in Table (27).

14.0 SUPPLY METHOD FOR LV CUSTOMERS WITH LOAD MORE THAN 800 AMP BY
PRIVATE / DEDICATED DISTRIBUTION SUBSTATIONS

Supplying of LV Customers by Private/ Dedicated Substations can be used for the

following major cases :
 1) When the connected load of the customer's unit is more than 800 Amp and
the customer building is considered as one unit according to Customer
Services Manual and according to municipality permits.
2) When there is no other customer can be supplied from the proposed
substation and the demand load of the customer's unit is 300 KVA or more
and the customer building is considered as one unit according to Customer
Services Manual and according to municipality permits.
3) When the customer ask for Private / Dedicated Substations for any specific
reason.

The customer should provide the location of the proposed Private/ Dedicated
Substations according to SEC specification.

The no. of the substations and their ratings should be the nearest rating available
according to SEC specification to match the calculated coincident demand load of
the customer building unless the customer ask for more than demand load. The
contracted load is the rating of the transformer. For more details follow the
procedures as below :
1) Calculate connected load according to SEC standards (DPS-01)
2) Apply demand factor and coincident factor according to SEC standards (DPS-
01) to calculate the Coincident Demand Load (CDL).
3) Select the no. of the required substations and their KVA ratings from the
available SEC standard (300, 500, 1000, 1500 KVA) where the summation of
substations ratings should provide minimum sufficient total capacity (100 %
of substation’s rated capacity) to meet the calculated Coincident Demand
Load (CDL) with minimum no. of substations.
4) If the customer asks to supply his building by a load more than calculated
demand load justified by calculation study for declared loads, in this case the
demand load as requested by the customer should be considered instead of
the calculated demand load.

The supply method for these types of customers needs special configurations design
as follows :

15.0 SPECIAL CASE : LV NETWORK WITH RING SYSTEM
If there is a special area / customer need higher level of reliability by providing two
point of supply (one as main supply and the second as back-up supply) from different
Substation to the customers at Low Voltage Network level (for example: Al Mashaer
Al Moqadasah), in this special case , the LV Network with Ring System Design can be
used with approval from the authorized level of management.

The design configuration of the Ring System for LV Network is executed by supplying
each distribution pillar by two different main LV feeders from two different
substations. The design configuration should satisfy the following considerations :
1) Each main LV feeder should be design to carry the full demand load of the
distribution pillar.
2) Each Substation should be design to carry the full demand load of the
distribution pillar.
3) In normal operation only one from the two main LV feeders will be energized
by closing its MCCB from substation side and the other one should be not
energized by opening its MCCB from substation side. Parallel operation is not
allowed between the two main LV feeders.
4) It is preferred that the two different substations to be fed from different MV
feeders if it is possible.

The supply method of the Ring System for LV Network needs special configurations
