TYPES OF SUBSTATION

 According to the service requirement:


o Transformer substation
o Switch substation
o Power factor correction substation
o Frequency change substation
o Converting substation
o Industrial substation

 According to the constructional features:


o Indoor substation
o Outdoor substation
o Underground substation
o Pole mounted substation

SUBSTATION CHARACTERISTICS
 Each circuit is protected by its own circuit breaker and hence plant outage
does not necessarily result in loss of supply.
 A fault on the feeder or transformer circuit breaker causes loss of the
transformer and feeder circuit, one of which may be restored after
isolating the faulty circuit breaker.
 A fault on the bus section circuit breaker causes complete shutdown of the
substation. All circuits may be restored after isolating the faulty circuit
breaker.
 Maintenance of a feeder or transformer circuit breaker involves loss of the
circuit.
 Introduction of bypass isolators between bus bar and circuit isolator allows
circuit breaker maintenance facilities without loss of that circuit.
