What is a Substation ?

In India Power plants generates power at voltage 11 KV . Since, this voltage do not suffice to cover the large distance from power plant to our homes. To do this voltage raised from 11 KV to 220 KV / 400 KV and then these voltages should bring to 440 V or 230 V to use in our homes or industries. To do this we use Substations. In substations their is a Transformer which transmits the power from one voltage to another voltage. The is also some protecting devices like Breakers, Lightening Arresters which protect those lines from faults.

Control Cable Required For 33/11KV Sub-Station

Control Cable Required For 33/11KV Sub-Station

10 Core Cable:

Used for Wiring from Control Room To Breaker.

a. Within Breaker                                                 (4 X 6M)    =    24 M
b. LV Breaker to Control Room                           (1 X 25M)  =    25 M
c. Feeder Breakers to Control Room                    (3 X 40M)  =  120 M
    (35m+37m+40m) arrox 40m
d. One Length for Group Control                          (1 X 40M)  =    40 M

                                                                Total                             210 M    (250 M Approx).

4 Core Cable:


a. CTs to Breaker                                                (3 X 10M)    =    30 M
b. 1 LV Breaker + 3 Feeder Breakers                  (4 X 30M)    =  120 M
c. LV to PTR                                                       (1 X 10M)    =    10 M
d. LV To Control Room(Voltmeter)                     (1 X 25M)    =    25 M
e. PT Supply - AC, PT Section Box to Breakers  (1 X 60M)    =    60 M
    (10m+15m+20m+15m)                                    

                                                                Total                             200 M    (250 M Approx).

2 Core Cable:


a. Chargers to Breaker                                         (4 X 20M)    =    80 M
b. Station DTR Junction Box to Each Charge
    and Charger to Breaker (5m+5m+10m+10m)                        =    30 M

                                                                Total                              110 M.


All above Calculations were done by  assuming that the control room will be constructed on 33 KV Side.
