fro University boundary to the site,
Trenching cost not considered as cost will Transformer at University Boundry-300sqmm
be same for all 3 cables) Cable Price - 4.8 Million (With 5.1% voltage

Transformer Location Evaluation at Site
premises and University Boundry
Transformer at Site Boundary 95sqmm HT
Cable Price = 2.64 Million

HT Cable - Voltage Drop is negligable

300sqmm there will be 5.1% voltage drop
Voltage Drop to150m length

400sqmm there will be 4.5% voltage drop

to150m length

Transformer at Location B within Site Additional LT 300sqmm cable length of 60m-

Premises (Cost 1.9million & Voltage drop 2% )
Transformer Location Evaluation at Site
premises Location A & B (60m apart Option of HT Supply to the Management Additional HT 95sqmm cable length of 60m-
between two locations) Faculty from HUSJ (Cost 1.05million & Voltage drop negligable )

There is sufficient space at location A and

Transformer location Space avaialability limited space in location B
Summary

Having Transformer at Site

Premises will reduce the
Cost

More than 400sqmm cable

will be required. Having
Transformer at site
premises will reduce the
voltage drop

Location A propose due to

low cost and reduced
voltage drop and space
availability
