Substation Bus Bar Switching Systems

Electrical & Power Engineering · 5 Days · Public · Al-Khobraa certified · From USD 3,900

Overview

In the process of electricity generation, transmission and distribution, the voltage needs to be transformed from low to high or high to low as per different requirements. A switching station where this transformation takes place using transformers is known as a substation. The substations can either be air insulated (AIS) or gas insulated (GIS). It comprises of many electrical equipment and protection devices. These include the power transformer, high voltage circuit breakers, instrument transformers, dis-connectors, bus bars, and protection relays.
