Transmission&Distribution
1 Background
The series on technical guidelines and manuals aims to support the POs and COs in the design,
procurement of material and equipment, the supervision of construction, and the later sustainable
operationoftherespectivepowersupplysystem.ThemanualonTransmissionandDistribution(T&D)
provides basic design criteria, necessary field data to be collected and the technical specifications as
basisforprocurement.
ThetransmissionandDistributionsystemisbasedonthePakistanistandardvoltagewhichis11kVfor
thetransmission,0.4kVforthe3phaseand230Vforthe1phasedistributionsystem.Powerfrequency
is50Hz.
Recommendations towards specific design criteria, material and equipment consider the envisaged
construction methodology and operation approach (both are community based) and the remoteness
andaccessibilityofconstructionsites.
2 Generalinformation
Within the project Development of hydropower and renewable Energy in KPK the construction of a
numberofhydropowerstationsofcapacitiesrangingfrombetween50kWto500kWisplanned.
The following guidelines and technical specifications are dealing with transmission and distribution
systemsforruralelectrification.TheyarevalidforbothhydropowerandPVsystems.
The POs shall design the respective systems according to the guidelines and shall ensure that the
equipmentandmaterialsuppliedandinstalledfulfillthebelowstandards.
The compliance of design, material, and equipment with this technical guidelines & standards will be
checkedduringcommissioningandfinalinspectionoftherespectivesubproject.Issuingofcompletion
and final acceptance certificates and the related final payment is strictly reliant on the complete
applicationofthesetechnicalguidelines&standards.

3.1.1
Households
Electricitydemandusuallyvariesaccordingtothe
Settlement(urban/rural),
Householdsizeandhouseholdspercompound,
Wealthlevel,
Potentialsforproductiveuse,
Workandconsumptionpattern.
In principle electricity demand shall be calculated based on baseline surveys. If such surveys are not
availablethefollowingdefinitionsmaybeapplied:
householdsize:9persons,
No.ofHHpercompound:1.0.
Withrespecttothedesignload,householdsaredividedinto2groups:
Normal household: Basic power demand for lighting, communication, kitchen appliances, etc.: Peak
load1kW.
Betteroffhousehold:Useelectricpowerforcookingandheating:Peakload3kW.Thesehouseholdswill
have to pay a additional connection charge due to higher connection costs (cables, etc.( and they are
obligedtopayanupfrontdeposittojustifytheircapabilitytopaythehigherbill.
In principle, people should be supported in using electric power for heating and cooking due to the
considerable higher impacts on environmental protection (forest conservation, greenhouse gas
mitigation,etc.).However,consumersshouldbeabletopayforthehigherelectricitybill,thegeneration

To determine the demand, public buildings such as administration, schools and mosques are treated
similarly to households. Load is calculated at 1kW with a coincidence factor of 0.5 per connection.

Annualgrowthrateofelectricitydemandforconsumptivepurposes
Since there is an immediate and positive correlation between population growth, numbers of
households or families, numbers of electricity connections, it was decided to maintain an average 3%

most of these services dont use electricity yet or only marginal. In other cases it depends on

it was decided to maintain this populationrelated growth figure as well for the growth pattern of
electricity demand in public or social services, will be maintained for the time being at best
approximation,butthetrendmightbemoreiterative.

process to replace Diesel or Kerosene generators by electric motors for productive use; (2) the large
replacement of water mill flour grinders by more convenient electric flour mills; (3) the improving
general economic environment for business opportunities using electricity productively as soon as
electricityqualityisassured;(4)observationsofthegeneraltrendsinothercountrieswhereelectricity
has been newly installed. The figure 10% growth p.a. nevertheless is a first estimation which needs
further justifications and observations from practical cases. Also in this case the growth rate of
electricity demand for PURE might after the first three to five years settle on a lower rate in the
followingyears.

Thestandardsappliedarebasedonlocalconditionsandobservations,butshouldbeverifiedbypractical

The distribution network starts from the transformer substation and comprises of the 0.4kV feeder
network, meter boxes, the customer service lines and the handing over station at the customers
premises. The 0.4kV feeders comprise of ABC cables fixed on 7m steel tubes or house walls. Meter
boxes are installed at public places are feeder poles. From here double core service lines lead to the

Meterboxes
Meterboxesaremadeofametalwaterproofcoverandalockabledoorandareinstalledatthefeeder
poles. Installation at public locations is preferred because termination of the cable and installation of
the meter within the compound would be more difficult. However, the meters positioned in public
require additional safety devices or larger conductor diameters to safely interrupt power in case of
faults. Considerable attention has been given to minimise and optimise the number of meter boxes
required.
Meter boxes are installed close to a number of compounds each of which is supplied individually via
twocorecables.Theconnectionfromtheoverheadfeederlinetothemeterboxisdonebyusing4x16

The total number of transformers is based on the maximum supply area which is determined by the
maximumpermissiblepowerlossesorvoltagedropwhichwassetatabout8%,whichwill,togetherwith
the 20kV voltage drops of about 2% (maximum 3%) lead to a total voltage drop of about 10% which
seems acceptable for the supply system. For concentrated settlement parts, the supply radius of one
transformer is about 500m while in villages where houses are more scattered and total load is less,
supplyradiusmayreach600to700m.However,themaximumpermissiblevoltagedropof8%should
beneverexceeded.
3.2.4
Earthingsystem
Proper earthing is required to ensure consumer personal safety and equipment protection. It is
therefore imperative to achieve a sufficiently low earth resistance to allow the passage of sufficient
current to operate relays or blow fuses. The switchyard and substation earthing system resistances
should therefore be less or equal to 2.0 . A detailed description of earthing system is compiled in
chapter6.3.7.
