Functions of Substation Equipments:


Sl. No.
Equipment
Function

  1.  
Bus-Bar
Incoming & outgoing circuits Connected to bus-bar

  1.  
Circuit Breaker
Automatic switching during normal or abnormal conditions

  1.  
Isolators
Disconnection under no-load condition for safety, isolation and maintenance.

  1.  
Earthing switch
To discharge the voltage on deadlines to earth

  1.
