[Tagging] Feature proposal - RFC - Power transmission refinement

[François Lacombe]

Hi,

I would warn the list about a little adding to the proposal : neutral
distribution.

The neutral is often missing from main lines of a power grid since it would
be expensive to make it continuous between plants and consumer.
Earth is doing a better job.

Such a conductor is installed between last transformer and consumers as
explained.

Thus, voltage declaration will be impacted : when an AC line has a neutral
conductor, voltage is given between this conductor and phases.
Otherwise, voltage is as usual given between 2 phases.

Example :
In France, national transit is done at 400/225 kV, it's between 2 phases
because there's no neutral conductor at such a global level.
Whereas domestic consumption is done with 220 V and it's between neutral
and phases. Between phases we have 400 V but voltage will have 220 V as a
value here.

Don't hesitate to criticize voltage refining with high, medium and low
values on talk page.

Except those details points, proposal sounds complete to me.


Thanks in advance.
