Abstract
This paper describes findings from a field trial of voltage reduction on a 24-kV circuit in North Carolina. The depth of voltage reduction was limited by commercial customers with off-nominal transformer taps and by customers with transformer and secondary issues. Voltage measurements from advanced metering provide insight on the importance of distribution transformers and secondaries when reducing voltage.
