Substations are locations where voltage levels are changed, using Transformers, and switching is carried out using circuit breakers, busbars, etc.

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.

Where are gas insulated substations to be installed?
gas insulated substations are installed especially where floor area available is limited and maintenance cost is more
Where do power lines go to?
Actually they just stay there. Seriously, power lines start from a power station (thermal, hydel, nuclear, etc.) and extend to consuption areas. major Substations in say (a state) is connected to substations in towns or town areas. There can be several levels of substations. From the lowest level substation the lines connect to houses, offices, commercial entities, etc.
What is secondary engineering?
It's the engineering concerning protection, control, supervision and communication of electrical substations or power plants.
What do substations reduce the voltage for?
A: Substations step down the transmission voltage for distribution for the local area. The reason being that their input is in the range 0f 475 Kv trying to distribute that kind of hi voltage would be totally impractical because of insulation. So a substation step down the hi voltage to a distribution level of 16kv or so.
Where might a step-down transformer be used?
Step-down transformer is used at grid substations for feeding various substations which further step down the voltage for feeding distributing transformers and further step down transformers are used to supply the voltage for the consumer uses
