Best Answer

In a power distribution grid, there is a main power source from usually a generating plant or dam. It is then subdivided into 2 or more substations usually to power cities or localities away from the power source. These substations convert the distribution voltage (several thousand volts), down to voltages that can be distributed through the locality. Further reduction of voltage occurs at individual poles that feed the business or home for 120-220 volts, etc.

What do you mean by package substation?

Prefabricated power distribution substation Its basically a whole 11kv substation but in one unit.
