Power Distribution and Utilization

This document is a study guide for a power distribution and utilization class. It contains sample exam questions covering topics like power transmission systems, distribution systems, voltage drops in AC and DC systems, overhead vs underground distribution, and calculations for voltage drops and current in distribution lines. Key concepts covered include comparing transmission to distribution systems, ring main vs radial vs interconnected distribution, and factors affecting voltage drops over transmission and distribution lines.
