  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. Circuit diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circuit_diagram

    A circuit diagram (or: wiring diagram, electrical diagram, elementary diagram, electronic schematic) is a graphical representation of an electrical circuit. A pictorial circuit diagram uses simple images of components, while a schematic diagram shows the components and interconnections of the circuit using standardized symbolic representations.

  5. Amtrak's 60 Hz traction power system - Wikipedia

    The switching stations contain three autotransformers similar to the paralleling stations (which have one), and also have additional circuit breakers to allow segmentation of catenary and cross-connection between power zones. Electrical sections encompass both tracks between a substation and the adjacent switching stations.

  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:

  7. SEPTA's 25 Hz traction power system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SEPTA's_25_Hz_Traction...

    A simple schematic of the Reading autotransformer distribution scheme. [2] The 24 kV lines feed a network of 11 substations (12 including the Wayne Junction switchyard) located every 8 to 10 miles (13 to 16 km) along the electrified rail lines. Most branches are short enough to only require a single substation near the end of the line, but the ...

  8. Eastern Green Links - Wikipedia

    SEGL1 will run from Torness in Southeast Scotland to Hawthorn Pit substation in Murton, County Durham. [3] Landfall in England will be to the North of Seaham, on the Durham Coast. [ 4 ] It is developed by Scottish Power Transmission plc (SPT) and National Grid Electricity Transmission plc (National Grid) [ 3 ] with a budget of £1.294 billion.

  9. Wiring diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wiring_diagram

    An automotive wiring diagram, showing useful information such as crimp connection locations and wire colors. These details may not be so easily found on a more schematic drawing. A wiring diagram is a simplified conventional pictorial representation of an electrical circuit. It shows the components of the circuit as simplified shapes, and the ...
