Introduction
1. Uses of Power Substation:
Line termination
Switching
Protection
Metering and voltage transformation
Control and stabilization between the
generating plant to the customers terminal
Introduction
2. Transmission Lines
The transmission lines serves as the linkage
between power generation and the power
substations which serve as a voltage
transformation point or switching or both.
The delivery capability of the substation is
dependent on the capacity of the transmission
lines.
HV Outdoor Switchyard
The arrangement of outdoor switchyard installation is
influenced by economic considerations, in particular the
adaptation to space availability and the operational
requirements of reliability and ease of operations.

2. Outdoor HV Circuit Breakers
2.1 Dead-tank circuit breakers
A North American design using bulk oil
(old design) or SF6 (new design) as the
Interrupting medium.
SF6 power circuit breaker utilize the puffer
Principle of arc interruption. This principle
utilizes compressing SF6 during the opening
Stroke and exhausting compressed SF6
through the breaker contacts to extinguish the

2.2 Live-tank circuit breakers
A European design using SF6 as the
Interrupting medium. Its difference with the
Dead-tank design is the absence of a CT as an
Integral part of the breaker.

3. HV Disconnect Switches
Disconnect switches or disconnectors are
mechanical swinging devices which in the open
position provide an isolating distance.
They are used primarily for isolation and
sectionalizing electric circuits such as buses,
lateral circuits or portions of main circuits, and
for special purposes such as testing and
Maintenance.

4. HV Current Transformer
A separate units of HV current transformers are
Required in live-tank circuit breakers installations.
They provide the necessary interface between the
HV and LV systems where protection, metering,
and control signals are obtained.

5. HV Capacitor Voltage Transformers (CVT)
Capacitor voltage transformers or CVT are
installed in high voltage systems with
transmission voltages from 66 kV up to the
highest voltages in the EHV range.
Functions:
a) Metering
b) Protection
c) Sychronizing
d) Indication

5. HV Capacitor Voltage Transformers (CVT)
They are often used simultaneously for coupling
carrier frequencies to power lines for purposes
of telecommunication, remote metering, selective
line protection and control.

5. HV Capacitor Voltage Transformers (CVT)
The CVT has a distinct economic advantages
at higher voltages over the conventional
electromagnetic voltage transformers. At
voltages of 100 kV and above, the selection
of a CVT over the conventional VT is
economically motivated by its duality of
function: as a standard voltage transformer
and as a coupler for high frequency
power line carrier system.

6. Surge Arresters
Surge arresters in outdoor substations are used
for limiting over voltages. The protection zone of
the arrester is limited due to the traveling phenomena.
To ensure that the voltage across the protected
equipment is more or less equal to the surge
arresters protective level, it is necessary to maintain
a certain separation distance between the arrester
and the protected equipment.
HV Outdoor Switchyard
6. Surge Arresters
For rated voltages of 123 kV, the arrester should
not be farther than 15-meter from the
protected apparatus
For 245 kV up to 525 kV, the maximum distance
is 20-meter.

7. Power System Communications:
1. Power line carrier (PLC) system
2. Use of fibre optic communication
PLC System
Carrier links using the HV transmission lines
or PLC systems are used by many power
utilities as the form of its communications.
They cater to the different communication
tasks required by the power utility which
includes the following: signals for telephony,
line protection, telemetering, remote control, etc.

An indoor transformer is one which,
because of construction, must be
protected from weather. They are usually
dry-type or the non-flammable oilimmersed type.

4. Cooling Methods
Excessive heat is a catalyst to the rapid
degradation of the transformer insulation system.
It reduces the mechanical and dielectric strength
of the paper insulation. The loss of the insulation
means the loss of life of the transformer.

ANSI and IEC differs in identifying the various
transformer cooling methods.

methods as provided by the ANSI
standard are identified by the type letters

self-cooled rating can be raised to a
higher rating of one or two steps
depending on the number of auxiliary
cooling stages and capacity.
