Radial Distribution
Radial Distribution
(OP)
Dear All,
i'm a new engineer, reviewing technical specification on switchgear(main breaker), and found this term "Distribution : Radial" requirement in Incoming Power Supply, what does it mean anyway?
Thanks before for your answer

RE: Radial Distribution
The advantages of the radial system are limited cost and adequate protection. The disadvantage is very limited flexibility. The most common substation configurations are simply modifications of this basic design to add flexibility and redundancy to the system.
RE: Radial Distribution
The interconnected network has multiple connections to the points of supply.
The network is the most sophisticated type of distribution system. It does not employ a radial power flow concept but instead relies on the fact that each load receives its power from several parallel paths operating simultaneously. This is achieved by using a grid of interconnected primary or secondary lines to serve the loads connected to it. For radial systems, the term connecting to the "grid" is used loosely and is really a misnomer given the "fanned" nature of radial power flows on radial systems." see:
