The object of this study is to discuss the economical relation between the power loaded and the conductor size in aerial high tension distribution systems and to let the designer to use the results as easily as possible.
Firstly, the present conditions of the power distribution from the substations in Nagoya City are described and especially the characteristics of the distribution power in the distribution line are discussed in details. Then the unit cost of the materials used and the labouring cost are tabulated, and it is described that how much annual percentage income must be required for the fixed charge of the distribution line from the view point of the company The general equation presenting the annual expense for one span of the most common or the standard line construction of Nagoya City is considered, which has two high tension circuits, 60 cycle 3 phase 3 wire system.
For this purpose the annual expense is divided into 3 parts,
i.e. that of all the fixtures without conducters that of the conducters (including low tension line loss) and that of high tension loss. The equation is simplified as possible considering the given conditions of the line system,
i.e. the night light system, the all-day power system and the all-day light-and-power system; the cost of power lost being chosen as 1 sen, 2.5 sen and 3 sen per KWH.
Th_??_n the most economical conductor size is deduced from the general equation for the den an 1 power at the end of the new line or the transmitting power in the feeder, along whi_??_h the distributed load is comparatively small. This condition is obtained from the condition that the annual expense for one span is minimum for the given transmitting power.
Next the same economical study is made for the 2 kinds of lines,
i.e. the line of 1 high tension circuit and that of 3 high tension circuits.
Finally the above economical relations are checked from the point of view of the voltage drop or regulation and it is verified that the above economical relation represented in the simple curves, may be adopted, without consideration of the voltage drop.
