There are
many types of independent feeders in India. 1.
Conventional power feeder: This is
the common feeder comprising three ACSR conductors running on poles, that can
be seen anywhere in India. The
advantage is that it is very easy to locate faults and fixing them. One of the biggest disadvantages is that it
requires a lot of space. In crowded
cities/ industrial estates in India, there is hardly additional space for laying
a conventional independent feeder adjacent to the conventional mixed
feeder. It is also prone to be
affected by branches of trees falling/ leaning on the feeder.
2. XLPE,
Underground cable feeder: This is
the most common type of feeders being laid in India. There are two further sub-types. In the first the cable is laid in shallow
trenches through manual digging. This
is less expansive to lay, but highly prone to being
punctured frequently. The second type
is laying 9-12 feet underground through horizontal drilling machines. This is much more expensive but relatively
safer. Still, in our own experience
cables have been inadvertently punctured quite often.
However,
HSIDC normally allows laying of independent feeders
only underground, and we have no other option. 3. XLPE Cable
on poles: This type
of independent feeder is by far the safest and easiest to locate and fix
faults. We give top preference for
this type of independent feeder.
