use grid feeders to make interconnected distribution networks to serve the downtown core. The interconnected network has multiple connections to the points of supply. Some of New York City's downtown areas are powered by submersible network transformers of 500 to 2,500 kVA. Usually these transformers

the transformers are distributed across an area (e.g. in streets) and have multiple supplies. The transformers are wired together on the secondary side. The system is arranged so that nearby transformers do not use the same feeder. In case of an issue with a feeder (or transformer) the load is fed by

Urban (spot) network transformer substations can be used to make interconnected distribution networks to serve a single facility. These substations may consist of two to eight or more primary transformers connected to the same secondary bus to provide reliable facility power. Examples of such single

Electricity distribution networks are typically of two types, radial or interconnected. A radial network arranges the station and branches like a tree with no connection to any other supply. This is typical of long rural lines with isolated load areas. In general, the radial distribution network has
