A "substation" is not a power generating plant but a facility that modifies incoming power and redistributes it to the grid. There are several reasons to do this,among these can be mentioned:
- Changing voltage (power is generated and transmitted at very high voltages which are successively transformed down until they reach final consumers)
- Phase correction (if alternating current from different sources are out of phase when they are combined they could destructively interfere with each other)

What is pooling substation?
The Substation which comes power from the power plant know as pooling substation.
What is a mini-substation?
A substation that is smaller than the average substation. A substation converts electric power from one voltage to another.
What should be the minimum recommended value of power factor of a substation?
A substation is not a load but is a place where switching and voltage-level changing takes place. Accordingly, you cannot apply a 'power factor' to a substation.
What is the classification of electrical power substation?
Pole mounted Outdoor
What is the working of an insulator at a power substation?
LOok at ur book
Safe distances from power substation?
50m working. 100m sleeping
What is grid substation?
this type of substation are considered important because any sort of disturbance in these substation may lead to the failure of grid.this type of substation are used to transmit huge amount of power from one point to other point in the gridAnswerA substation is a location where electricity transmission/distribution voltage-levels are changed and switching is carried out, as opposed to a power station, where electricity is generated. A substation, therefore, is a yard/building in which there are transformers, switchgear, busbar systems, and protection systems.A grid substation is part of the electricity grid system -i.e. part of the transmission system. In the UK, this involves voltage levels of 400 kV, 275 kV, and 132 kV.

How does energy get from a power plant to a house?
Electricity generated at a power plant is transmitted through power lines to a substation, where it is transformed to a lower voltage for distribution. From the substation, electricity travels through power lines to homes, where it enters through a meter and breaker box before being distributed to outlets and appliances.
What is the functions of bus bar in an electric substation?
its a type of conductor that carries electric power
What do you mean by package substation?
Prefabricated power distribution substation Its basically a whole 11kv substation but in one unit. It contains a transformer, ring main unit, fuse board and circuit breakers etc. It still uses as much space as a normal substation that houses a separate transformer, ring main unit etc but is easier to transport and is probably cheaper.
Function of dc battery at substation?
Batteries are essential components in a substation. They provide the (tripping) current by which protective relays can trip high-voltage circuit breakers in the event of a fault. This means that the circuit breakers can trip even if the substation itself has lost its ancillary AC power supply.
