ENA Public Consultation Statutory Voltage Limits at customers’ terminals

14 August 2017

In January 2015, an ENA Task Group was established to consider the findings of various Low Carbon Network Fund projects in relation to voltage control on the low voltage (LV) network.   The Task Group reviewed the current lower bound of the statutory voltage limits on the LV network and specifically at LV customers’ terminals. The Task Group also reviewed the option for changing the current lower bound from 6 per cent below nominal voltage to 10 per cent below nominal so as to align with the current BS EN 50160 and BS EN 60038 standards. The report of the Task Group, ETR 140, sets out the positive and negative aspects of these proposed changes in policy and practice on network operators, customers, generators and other stakeholders in terms of planning and operations.
