What is the Difference between air insulated substation and gas substation?

Air insulated means the substation is in the open air, and the dielectric strength of the air is used to isolate conductors from each other and from ground. Gas insulated means a specific gas is used for insulation; this gas is usually an inert gas such as nitrogen. Gas insulated substations, by definition, are required to be inside a contained structure, or large piping must be placed around all conductors to hold the gas.


Type of transformers used in gas insulated substation?

Current transformer and voltage transformer . This transformers are actually measuring instruments which measures the quantity of current and voltage coming out of the substation.

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.
