4 Common Arrangements of Distribution Substations

The general technique of supplying large quantity of power to factories or other complexes is by means of high-voltage (HV) supply, typically at 11 kV, occasionally at 6.6 kV. The installation consists of a main substation at the point of … Read more

Transformer Substations in an Electric Power Supply System

The greater part of the substations in the power systems are focused on changing of the voltage level of the electric supply. These are termed to as transformer substations since the transformer is the key component used to change the … Read more

Features and Classification of Substations

A substation can be defined as an assembly of apparatus used to change some characteristics like voltage, AC, DC, frequency, power factor, etc., of electric supply.

Substations play a key role in power systems. The continuity of supply depends largely … Read more

Types of Busbar Arrangements in Grid Stations and Substations

The arrangement and connection of incoming and outgoing feeders in grid stations and substations and the number of busbars have a significant influence on the supply reliability of the power system. Grid stations and substations, and the topology of the … Read more

Key Factors to Consider In Substation Design

Substations are the points in the power network where transmission lines and distribution feeders are connected together through circuit breakers or switches via busbars and transformers. This permits the control of power flows in the network and the normal … Read more
