Since all circuits are connected to the single, main bus, reliability of this system is not
very high. However, with

the transfer bus available during maintenance, de-energizing of the circuit can be
avoided. Some systems are operated with the transfer bus normally de-energized. When
maintenance work is necessary, the transfer bus

is energized by either closing the tie breaker, or when a tie breaker is not installed,
closing the switches

connected to the transfer bus. With these switches closed, the breaker to be maintained
can be opened along with its isolation switches. Then the breaker is taken out of service.
The circuit breaker remaining in service will now be connected to both circuits through
the transfer bus.

This way, both circuits remain energized during maintenance. Since each circuit may
have a different circuit configuration, special relay settings may be used when operating
in this abnormal arrangement.

Several typical layouts are given in the following pages of this chapter which give a
general idea of the great diversity of possible system that are now used. All the layouts
are given in the standard single line method, in which each line or symbol represents a
three phase circuit or device.

DOUBLE-BUS SINGLE-CIRCUIT BREAKER SYSTEM (FIG 97). This arrangement

greatly increases the chances for continuity of service over that shown in fig 96. One bus
bar may be used an auxiliary only, or one may feed a lighting while the other feeds a
power load.

When a bus tie breaker is present, the bus tie breaker is the breaker used to replace the
breaker being maintained, and the other breaker is not connected to the transfer bus. A
shortcoming of this scheme is that if the main bus is taken out of service, even though
the circuits can remain energized through the transfer bus and its associated switches,
there would be no relay protection for the circuits. Depending on the system
arrangement, this concern can be minimized through the use of circuit protection devices
(reclosure or fuses) on the lines outside the substation.

This arrangement is slightly more expensive than the single bus arrangement, but does
provide more flexibility during maintenance. Protection of this scheme is similar to that of
the single bus arrangement. The area required for a low profile substation with a main
and transfer bus scheme is also greater than that of the single bus, due to the additional
switches and bus.
