In distribution stations, how is load transferred to a paralleled bank?

In distribution stations, load is transferred to a paralleled bank by opening the bank low side. This method allows for a controlled and safe transition of electrical loads between parallel banks without risking equipment damage or service interruption.

When the low side of the bank is opened, the current can be diverted from one bank to the other, facilitating a smoother shift of load. This technique is essential in maintaining system stability and ensuring that both banks operate effectively within their ratings.

Using this method, the system can balance the load without overloading any individual bank or disrupting the overall distribution network. The other options involve actions that do not effectively achieve safe or controlled load transfer, such as energizing without proper management or disconnecting that could result in service interruptions.
