Electric Substation is the component of the electric power system as well as used for transmitting power from producing points to the load centers. Several of the vital components of a substation are:
1. Busbars
2. Lightning arrester or Surge arrestors
3. Disconnecting Switches or Isolators
Varieties of Isolators:
i. Central rotating
ii. Centre-Break
iii. Vertical swing
iv. Pantograph type
4. Earth Switch
5. Current Transformer
6. Voltage Transformer
7. Circuit Breaker
Circuit Breaker Functions Include:
i. Closing
ii. Opening
iii. Auto Re-closing
8. Power Transformers
9. Shunt Reactors
10. Shunt Capacitor
11. Series Capacitor
12. Series Reactors
13. Lightning Protection
14. Isolated Bus System (Phase)
15. Neutral Grounding Tools
16. Line Trap
17. Insulators
18. Power Cables
19. Control Cables
20. Relay, Control and Metering panels
21. Earthing System
The brief discussion about each individual component will be added very soon.
