Feeder Pillar

A feeder pillar is a crucial component in electrical power distribution systems. It's essentially a robust, weatherproof enclosure that houses electrical equipment for the safe and efficient distribution of power to various loads.

Working of Feeder Pillar

Power Reception: The feeder pillar receives incoming power from the main power source, typically an overhead line or an underground cable.

Power Distribution:

• It distributes power to various loads through a network of feeders and branch circuits.

• Circuit breakers within the pillar selectively isolate faulty circuits, preventing damage to equipment and minimizing downtime.

Protection:

Equipped with protective devices like circuit breakers, fuses, and earth leakage circuit breakers (ELCBs), the feeder pillar safeguards the system from:

• Overloads: Excessive current flow that can damage equipment.

• Short Circuits: Abnormal electrical connections that can cause a sudden surge in current.

• Earth Faults: Electrical current leaking to ground, posing a shock hazard.

Metering:

Some feeder pillars incorporate energy meters to monitor electrical consumption.

Key Benefits of Feeder Pillar

• Enhanced Safety: Protects personnel and equipment from electrical hazards.

• Improved Reliability: Ensures continuous and uninterrupted power supply.

• Weatherproof Design: Protects electrical components from harsh weather conditions.

• Space-Saving: Compact and efficient design saves space.

• Easy Maintenance: Provides easy access for maintenance and repairs.

• Reduced Downtime: Rapid isolation of faults minimizes disruption to operations.

Applications of Feeder Pillar

Feeder pillars find widespread applications in various settings:

• Residential: Housing societies, apartment complexes, and individual homes.

• Commercial: Shopping malls, office buildings, and industrial estates.

• Industrial: Factories, manufacturing plants, and industrial parks.

• Utilities: Street lighting, traffic signals, and other outdoor applications.

• Rural Electrification: Providing power to remote areas.
