Almost all of the equipment inside of a substation is used for the purpose of protection.
The circuit breakers and power Transformers in the substation are equipped with current transformers (CTs) that step down the current passing through the equipment to a level that can be read by protective relays. These protective relays can cause the breakers to trip upon many different events including under/overvoltage, current spikes, frequency issues, transformer/bus differential, etc.
The breakers in a substation are placed strategically so that different pieces of equipment or sections of a circuit can be isolated without loss of service to the customer.

What happens at substations?
At substations, the voltage of electricity is either stepped up or stepped down depending on its application. They serve as an intermediate point between the power generation plants and the consumers' electrical distribution system. Substations also provide various protection and control mechanisms to ensure the reliable and efficient transmission and distribution of electricity.
