One of the main goals that every electrical utility company has is transportation of electrical energy from the generating station to the customer, while meeting the following main criteria: • High reliability of power supply • Low energy cost • High quality of energy (required voltage level, frequency etc.) What is a substation used for ?
Forms Core Shell
How It Interfaces
Disconnect Switches Bushings Current Transformer Circuit Breaker
Disconnect Switch and Circuit Breaker • Purpose of Circuit Breakers and Disconnect Switches • Size of Breakers • Fault Current • Continuous Current • X/R Ratio • Power Flow

Why grounding is important ?1-Path for short circuit to remote earth2-Provide safe step and touch potentialsGrounding system design consists of all the following : Grounding rods Grounding grid Copper cables Equipment connectors
Main safety issues in grounding to be concerned about in designing the grounding system : • Step Voltage : Voltage difference in ground between your feet as you are standing or walking • Touch Voltage : Voltage difference between equipment being touched and the ground at your feet
GPR ( Ground Potential Rise ) • - V = I * R -Fault current into the grounding system times resistance to “remote earth”
