1Agricultural Pump at the End of a 620 m LT Line: Diagnosing a 15% Voltage Depression
A 63 kVA, 11 kV/415 V distribution transformer at the edge of a village feeds a three-phase four-wire LT line built with 95 sq mm aluminium conductor. A 15 HP (11 kW) agricultural pump set is connected through a service connection at the far end, 620 m from the transformer.

An 11 kV spur of about 3.2 km runs on 9 m PSC poles with Rabbit ACSR conductor in 60 m spans and crosses a state highway between two poles. After a thunderstorm the patrolling lineman reports: (i) the lowest conductor measures 5.4 m above the road surface; (ii) the mid-span sag on the crossing span, measured at 2 pm with the conductor at about 45 °C, is 1.35 m against a stringing-chart value of 0.90 m at that temperature; (iii) there is a brown flashover mark and a crack on the B-phase pin insulator on the crossing pole; (iv) that pole is a 30° section pole but has no stay.
