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.

Why are control panels used in substation?

Substation is the place (in transmission of power with overhead/underground cable) where the voltage level may be increased or decreased. That voltage level is so high that any personnel on its own cannot check/handle it by meters physically. Also the load on the system is never constant so there are fluctuations (ups/downs) in all the parameters of the electricity, like voltage, current, power factor (reactive and active power), frequency etc. So to calculate/estimate those things continuously with the time we need to implement separate monitors for them. This also implies that if any unacceptable change is observed in the power system, it should be immediately solved and continuity of power should be kept. That is the reason we go for control panels in substation. Now in control panels there are all the those things which are required for the measurement of voltage, current total power, frequency, power factor. These are measured at all time of the day. If any fault is observed in the measured readings, then it is cleared immediately, and if it is not able to clear it itself, then the personnel on the substation can clear it by switching off the certain power line through circuit breakers. CBs, relays, CTs, PTs, APFC all are incorporated in control panels. If still you are not clear with what is mentioned above, please feel free to ask me on dishant22@hotmail.com

Design of earthing mesh in substation?

The mesh size in the earthing design for substation can be various size depend on the area. For area that does not contain equipment, we could increase the mesh size because there is no equipment to cause touch potential. But if the area is at the corner of the substation, the mesh size should be smaller because to limit the step potential.


Your computer is only got 789MHzbut the sims 2 need 800MHzcan you play the sims 2?

No, You can not. You system does NOT meet the minimum requirements. Another note is the minimum requirements also require you to run with all your settings on low. Your computer should actually exceed the "Recommended Requirements" in order to have good gameplay. Game manufactures actually have the "Recommended" and "Minimum" Requirements offset too low. If you plan on upgrading, try to Exceed the Recommended Requirements for optimal gameplay.
