There are two classes of substation; those that form part of the transmission network (which operates at 275kV and above) and those that form part of the

Substations typically operate at high voltages ranging from 69,000 to 765,000 volts for transmission and distribution of electricity. The specific voltage level of a substation depends on the...

These feeders can be overhead or underground and typically supply multiple distribution transformers, each of which steps down the medium-voltage power to low-voltage levels (such as

Transmission lines carry electricity from power plants to substations, while distribution lines carry electricity from substations to homes and businesses. At

Usually for economy of construction the collector system operates around 35 kV, although some collector systems are 12 kV, and the collector substation steps up voltage to a transmission voltage

Typical voltages for long distance transmission are in the range of 155,000 to 765,000 volts. The higher the voltage, the less energy is lost due to
View Details
Sub-transmission substations typically operate at 33 kV through 138 kV voltage levels. This kind of substations transform the high voltages used for efficient long distance transmission

Most notably, it is produced in three phases. It has transformers that step transmission voltages (in the tens or hundreds of thousands of volts range) down to distribution voltages (typically less than 10,000
