Section 13(1) in Tamil Nadu Electricity Regulatory Commission Tamil Nadu Electricity Distribution Code
(1)Voltage: The variation in the voltage levels in the distribution system may depend upon the available VAR generation, system loads and configuration of the transmission system and distribution system. Under normal operating conditions the Licensee shall exercise proper voltage monitoring and control in the distribution system beyond the point of interconnection so as to maintain voltage at all levels in accordance with the Standards of Performance specified by the Commission. The means adopted shall include.(a)Use of transformers equipped with tap changers (on load /Off Load).(b)Balancing of loads between phases of the LT network.(c)Limiting KVA- km loading of the circuits(d)Reduction of overloaded transformers by planning and installing additional distribution transformers.(e)By installing the required regulating transformers (Boosters) and synchronous Condensers at appropriate locations.(f)Installation of shunt capacitors/Capacitor banks at optimum locations depending upon the requirement of VAR compensation in the network(g)[Provision of switched/fixed capacitor, as the case may be, on the (secondary) LV side of Distribution Transformers.] [[Substituted ns per Commission's Notification No. TNERC/DC/8-8 dated 8.2.2008 (w.e.f. 27.2.2008) xohich before substitution stood as under:'Provision of switched capacitor on the (secondary) LV side of Distribution Transformers']]
