Abstract:
Power losses in electrical system referred to the difference between the magnitude of power generated and power consumed. The need for reducing electrical power losses either in transmission or distribution is came from the high cost that the utilityincurs. There are two causes of distribution losses, technical and nontechnical. The causes of each one of them were investigated in this project and corresponding solutions to reduce them were adopted.
In this project study have been done about the distribution transformer and cables losses with power factor effect in these losses by measure the transformer noload and short circuit test data.
This project objectives successfully met by obtaining the major causes of distribution losses in Sudan and finding out the optimum solutions.
