Classification of Sub –Station
•Sub stations may be classified according to
•Service requirement.
•Constructional features (or) design.
1. According to Service requirement
•A sub-station may be called upon to change voltage level or improve
power factor or convert a,cpower into d.cpower etc. according to the
service requirement substations may be classified into.

SUB –STATION EQUIPMENT
•The equipment required for a transformer sub-station depends upon
•The type of sub-station
•Service requirement.
•The degree of protection required.
•A transformer sub –station has the following main equipment's.
•Bus Bar.
a)Single bus-bar arrangement.
b)Single bus-bar system with sectionalisation.
c)Double bus-bar arrangement.
Sub -Station 19

Bus -Bars
•Bus-bars are copper or aluminium bars and
operate at constant voltage.
•The incoming and outgoing lines in a sub-
station are connected to the bus-bars.
•The most commonly used bus-bar
arrangements in sub-station are:
•Single bus-bar arrangement.
•Single bus-bar system with sectionalisation.
•Double bus-bar arrangement.
•Number of lines operating at the same voltage have to be directly connected
electrically, bus bars are used as the common electrical component.
Sub -Station 20

Insulators
•The most commonly used material for the
manufacture of insulator is porcelain.
•There are several type of insulator (eg. Pin
type, suspension type, post insulator etc.)
•Their use in the sub-station will depend upon
the service requirements.
•The insulators serve two purposes. They support the conductors and provide
necessary insulation between conductors and supports to avoid leakage
current.
Sub -Station 21

Isolators
•Thisisaccomplishedbyanisolating
switchorisolator.
•Anisolatorisessentiallyaknifeswitch.It
isdesignedtoopenacircuitunderno

Lightning arrestor
•In order to protect transmission line, transformer and other equipment from
lighting arrestors are used.
