  2. Substation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Substation

    The first step in planning a substation layout is the preparation of a one-line diagram, which shows in simplified form the switching and protection arrangement required, as well as the incoming supply lines and outgoing feeders or transmission lines. It is a usual practice by many electrical utilities to prepare one-line diagrams with ...

  3. Electric power distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_power_distribution

    Most of the world uses 50 Hz 220 or 230 V single phase, or 400 V three-phase for residential and light industrial services. In this system, the primary distribution network supplies a few substations per area, and the 230 V / 400 V power from each substation is directly distributed to end users over a region of normally less than 1 km radius.

  4. Single-line diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single-line_diagram

    A typical one-line diagram with annotated power flows. Red boxes represent circuit breakers, grey lines represent three-phase bus and interconnecting conductors, the orange circle represents an electric generator, the green spiral is an inductor, and the three overlapping blue circles represent a double-wound transformer with a tertiary winding.

  5. Traction substation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Traction_substation

    A traction substation, traction current converter plant, rectifier station or traction power substation (TPSS) is an electrical substation that converts electric power from the form provided by the electrical power industry for public utility service to an appropriate voltage, current type and frequency to supply railways, trams (streetcars) or ...

  6. HVDC converter station - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HVDC_converter_station

    An HVDC converter station (or simply converter station) is a specialised type of substation which forms the terminal equipment for a high-voltage direct current (HVDC) transmission line. [1] It converts direct current to alternating current or the reverse. In addition to the converter, the station usually contains:

    Frazer substation on the Philadelphia to Harrisburg Main Line Old substation remote control panel at Paoli interlocking tower A one-line diagram of the 1930 era substation at Bowie, MD The large substation at the Safe Harbor dam is one of the minority that steps-up 25 Hz power to 138 kV for long distance transmission.

  8. Spot network substation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spot_Network_Substation

    Layout of a spot low-voltage network In electricity distribution networks, spot network substations (network transformers) are used in interconnected distribution networks. They have the secondary network (also called a grid network) with all supply transformers bussed together on the secondary side at one location.

  9. High-voltage direct current - Wikipedia

    A block diagram of a bipolar HVDC transmission system, between two stations designated A and B. AC – represents an alternating current network CON – represents a converter valve, either rectifier or inverter, TR represents a power transformer, DCTL is the direct-current transmission line conductor, DCL is a direct-current filter inductor ...
