132kV substation is part of transmission and distribution of power in which the transmission voltage is 132kV. The substation is for stepping down or stepping up of the voltages to the required voltage. the substation also serves as a place where the transmission lines can be isolated, controlled and monitored. The substation consists of different equipment that is used to regulate, monitor and distribute the required power.

Another Answer

In the UK, 132 kV voltages are considered to be the lowest transmission voltages. Other transmission voltages are 275 kV and 400 kV. A '132-kV substation' is normally one in which this voltage is stepped down to a primary distribution voltage, usually 33 kV but, sometimes, 66 kV. As the previous answer points out, substations contain Transformers, switchgear, busbars, and protection equipment.

Why Indian power system in multiples of 11kv?

Multiples of 11 kV are used in many countries. The idea is to deliver a round number of volts so you add on 10% to allow for line losses. So 10 kV becomes 11 kV. In practice lines are operated without a 10% voltage drop now because it represents an unacceptable waste of energy, but we have stuck with 11 kV etc. Common supply voltages used for area distribution are 6.6 kV, 11 kV, 33 kV, 66 kV and 132 kV.


Why the generation voltage is 11kv not 10kv?

Alternator output voltages are typically restricted to around 25 kV to limit their physical size and the centrifugal forces to which they are subjected. In the UK, this voltage is then typically raised to 400 kV for transmission.The voltages to which you are referring to are typical of the voltages used in the UK's high-voltage distribution system. 'Grid' substations typically transform transmission voltages of 132 kV down to 33 kV (or, less commonly, 66 kV), and 'primary' substations then transform distribution voltages of 33 kV down to 11 kV.


What is height of a normal towerA type 132 kv up to bottom cross arm?

The height of a standard 132 kV transmission tower typically ranges from 30 to 40 meters (approximately 98 to 131 feet) up to the bottom cross arm. The exact height can vary based on design specifications, local regulations, and environmental factors. The towers are engineered to support the electrical load and withstand wind and other environmental stresses.


What is voltage in rotor of 11 KV AC generator?

Star (or 'wye') connected alternators have a phase voltage of 6.35 kV, and a line voltage of 11 kV. Incidentally, it's 'kV', not 'KV'.


What is a switchgear room?

A switchgear room is a room in a building which contains switchgear. It is typically a locked room in the ground floor of a building where the service enters the property. It would usually contain the supply authority's meters and the main protective devices (fuses, breakers) for the building's electrical installation. The room should not be used for storage or any other use.A different answerA switchgear room is an enclosed space - within an electrical power generating station or substation - in which are located high-voltage circuit breakers, protective relays, battery supplies, etc. The types of circuit breakers located inside switchgear rooms are indoor types and not suitable for locating in the substation compound. In the UK, these types of circuit breaker are typically metal-clad 11-kV oil circuit breakers (OCBs), and are supplied from primary (33/11-kV) transformers located in the substation compound and, themselves, supplied from outdoor-type 33-kV circuit breakers in the same compound.

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.

Why only 11kv is used in power systems transmission line?

It isn't. In the UK, transmission and distribution voltages are 400 kV, 275 kV, 132 kV, 66 kV, 33kV, and 11 kV.


What is the difference between the single line diagram of a 33 kV substation and a 66 kV substation and if possible then please provide the S.L.D. of both substations?

basically there will not be any difference between them. the capacity of equipment will be more such as the CB rating will be more basically there will not be any difference between them. the capacity of equipment will be more such as the CB rating will be more


Why do you represent the voltages ranges in terms of 11kilo Volt in power system?

It used to be a convention to add 10% to allow for transmission losses, so the voltages were always described as 11 kV, 33 kV, 66 kV and 132 kV. Later standards in the UK grid are 275 kV, which is a multiple of 11, and 400 kV which is not.


Is there a induce voltage on the human being in the 220 kilovolts substation?

yes,, because, the diaelectric strength of air is 35 kv/cm, above it, air start conducting. at 220 kv current wil start flowing through human body.
