There is a process to deliver electricity to your homes. It can’t be delivered directly from the power station at your doorstep. First, the voltage has to be lowered to a safer voltage to be able to take it homes and business places. Electrical power transformers in India offered by Rajasthan Powergen, the leading transformer manufacturer in India use an electrical substation to perform this job. The substation can also manage the network to make sure that it works optimally and is fault free.
What is found in a Substation?
The most vital component of a substation is a power transformer. The role of transformer is to decrease or increase the voltage of the power fed to it. There is also a Switchgear, which is used to control and protect circuits. Switch gear rescues fault currents thus increasing the reliability of the electrical supply.
In case of any emergency, Circuit breakers are integrated to cut the power supply. As soon as the circuit is disconnected, the contacts are pulled apart by the circuit breaker pulls. Types of circuit breakers include- oil, gas, vacuum and air.
- Vaporisation of oil can lead to injection of a shot of oil through the arc to break the circuit.
- In medium voltage switchgear, vacuum circuit breakers are used as they have minimal arching.
- The Gas circuit breakers extinguish the arc with the strength of the magnetic field
- Compressed air is used by Air circuit breakers to quell the arc
The circuit breaker can disconnect the circuit very quickly irrespective of the material used.
Large Substations
When power has to be transported along long distances, large substation, also known as a grid substations used to increase the voltage for the long journey. The grid substation is on elevated overhead lines usually made of ceramic or glass to make sure that the High voltage currents doesn’t reach the ground.
Small Substations
In countries with smaller areas, the voltage is lowered to 33,000 volts by the small substation. In more developed areas the voltage is lowered between, between 11,000 and 33,000 volts. These substations directly deliver to factories, hospitals and the railways.
To s deliver.
To deliver the voltage to homes, Pole mounted transformers are used to lower the voltage to 230 volts.
Electrical power transformers in India, use many substations to pass the electrical current for it reach its destination.
