Characterization of Pole-Type Distribution Transformers in Honduras Distribution Network - Part I

Load analysis of distribution transformers is essential to understand and protect distribution networks from undesired levels. This paper presents a method of characterization of the Pole-Type Distribution Transformers (PTDT) of the Honduran electrical network based on their rated capacity, voltage level and regional management where they are installed. A methodology for projecting the maximum demand of each equipment is presented, thus determining the number of elements that may be oversized or overloaded.
