Iikv Substation

overview

Substation provides the energy supply for the local area in which the line is located. The main function of the substation is to collect the energy transmitted at high voltage from the generating station and then reduce the voltage to an appropriate value for local distribution and gives facilities for switching. The substation is of two types one is the simple switching type where the different connection between transmission line are made and the other is the converting stations which convert AC to DC or vice versa or convert frequency from higher to lower or lower to higher.
