HV AIR INSULATED

SUB-STATION
LAYOUTS
AIM is to convert SLD to Plan Layout & Section
Elevation drawings
 Contents of Plan and
Section Layout drawings
• Plan & Elevation views of HV bus bars, HV equipment, their
mounting structures and inter connections as per SLD
• System parameters, HV equipment BOQ, Minimum clearances and
stringing details of conductors.
• Location of Control room, fire protection pump house, DG sets and
LT auxiliary transformer.
• Transformer fire protection walls, soak pits & common oil sump pit.
• A.C. Kiosks & Bay Marshalling Kiosks.
• Roads, Rails, fence and gates
• ‘A’ row columns of power station and generator/station
transformer yard layout for power station substations only.
• Location of line terminal towers, if available.
 Applicable Codes &
Standards

• Indian Electricity Rules : 2005

• CBIP Manual on substation layout –
Publication No- 299:2006
• I.S. 10118:Part III:1982 Installation
of switchgear and control gear.
• IEC-61936 Part-1:2002 Power
installations exceeding 1KvAC.
 Inputs Required for
preparing Layout drawings.
• Contract Single Line Diagram Drawing (SLD).
• Customers tender layout or layout drawing submitted by us at tender stage.
• Generator/station transformer layout drawing with Power station wall (if
applicable).
• System Parameters (if not given in SLD).
• Minimum clearances.
• HV equipment parameters with quantities and OGA drawings.
• Stringing/Conductor/Tube details.
• Height of fire protection walls and size of oil soak pits & sump pit.
 Inputs Required for
preparing Layout drawings.
• Information required, if not provided in Tender layout
drawings.
– Bus bay & feeder bay width.
– Height of equipment connections, main buses & jack
connections etc.
– Height of peaks or lighting/lightning masts & their
locations.
– Dimensions & Location of various buildings, roads, rail
track, fences & gates.
• Other information, if any.

 Roads & Rail Tracks

• As per customer’s specification.

• From gate to control room, fire pump house
DG room etc.
• Road or rail cum road for power
transformers and shunt reactors, if specified.
• If not specified, near 400 kv & above voltage
CBS only.
• Near AC Kiosks & BMKS, if specified.
 Three single phase
transformer bank formation.
• Neutral is formed by connecting neutral terminal of each of the three
single phase transformers to an aluminium tube supported on 33 KV
BPIs .This neutral is connected to two treated earth electrodes as per
normal practice.

• For formation of delta connection for 33kv tertiary windings (3U2-

3V1, 3V2-3W1 and 3W2-3U1), aluminium tube supported on 72.5 kv
BPIs is normally used. Sometimes tertiary winding is earthed
through a zigzag earthing transformer.

• Sometimes cables are also used for neutral & tertiary connections
for which supporting arrangement has to be provided for cable
terminations and cables from air bushings/ cable box to ground.
