Different locations, even though attached to the same local grid, may have different supply voltages because they are receiving those supplies through different transformers. I got that. What is wrong is that the person who wrote that originally (was it you?) used that to explain why a regular house outlet could be 220 volts on one side of town, and 240 volts on another, both connected to the same "grid". There's going to be some variation, but not that much. Nonsense! Do you believe that the entire town is powered by a single substation, and that there are no I/R losses? It IS possible that an older part of a town hasn't been upgraded in a long time, and that the additional load pulls the line voltage down at the end of a MV feed while another site is closer to a substation and has higher voltage available to the building. The stipulation was "one side" and "the other side", which sounds to me like the windings of a single center tapped transformer, so NO, there is NO way that there could be that much of a variance between the two, dip****. two sides of TOWN on opposite sides of one transformer??? I think not. |
