The study embraced the readings of the transformer supplied voltage, house-to-house received voltage, currents, power consumption in each house using clip-on metre, while the distance of each house from the transformer supplying, the street was obtained using measuring tape. The results obtained shows that if consumers are to receive a reasonable supplied voltage for efficient operation of their appliances the distance of the consumer’s service cable at the farthest end from the transformer should not exceed 400 m.
