Abstract: 
This research investigates the prevalence and impact of system abnormalities on the 11KV Etche distribution network with the aim of enhancing the quality of power supply. The distribution system is a critical component of the electrical grid, and abnormalities within it can lead to inefficiencies, power outages, and compromised service reliability. Through comprehensive data collection and analysis, this study identifies common abnormalities such as voltage fluctuations, line losses, and equipment failures, and assesses their effects on power quality. Utilizing advanced monitoring techniques and mathematical modeling, the research quantifies the extent of these abnormalities and their implications for end-users and utilities alike. Furthermore, the paper proposes strategies for mitigating and addressing these abnormalities, including targeted maintenance practices, equipment upgrades, and grid optimization measures. By addressing system abnormalities proactively, utilities can enhance the resilience and reliability of the 11KV Etche distribution network, ultimately leading to improved power quality and customer satisfaction.
