Abstract
The common problems existing in electric distribution systems are: under voltage; overloading of distribution system components; unbalanced loading; transformer without OLTC operation; improper reactive power compensation; power theft; conversion of 3phase supply into 2phase supply; voltage sag; harmonics and system resonance condition; voltage fluctuations; problem in fault identification; transients; and renewable energy penetration, resulting in functional problems to both distribution power supply company as well as end user. This chapter discusses the various problems in the electric distribution system.
