\ feeder is a conductor which connects the substation to the area where power is
istributed.
erally, no tapings are taken from the feeder so that current in it remains the

iin consideration in the design ofa feeder is the current carrying capacity.
Distributor :
distributor is a conductor from which tappings are taken for supply to the

+ Advantages :
This s the simplest distribution circuit and has the lowest intial cost.
+ Disadvantages/Drawback :
‘2) The end of the distributor nearest to the feeding point will be heavily loaded.
b) The consumers are dependent on a single feeder and single distributor.
Therefore, any fault on the feeder or distributor cuts off supply to all the
consumers who are away from the fault,
‘The consumers at the distant end of the distributor Would be subjected to
serious voltage fluctuations when the load on the distributor changes.
Due to these limitations, this system is used for short distances only.
