Accurate determination of the neutral conductor current distribution along a low voltage feeder is vitally important through two perspectives. The first one is to investigate the voltage profile along the feeder. The second one is directly related with the economical feasibility of the system (i.e., total losses occurred on the feeder). Due to the numerous reasons, actual measurements will be case specific. Hence, a typical low voltage feeder is modeled in detail and simulated with randomly assigned actual residential load data obtained from the energy consumption measurements. Results indicate better voltage regulation and economic advantages of neutral conductors selected in the same cross-section as phase conductors.
