SUBSTATION LAYOUT

Design and considerations


Layout diagram
After bus arrangement is decided,
Key diagram and then layout drawing should be
prepared- to show actual position of each
equipment
Land plan- boundaries of the land acquired
 Civil works
 Electrical works
 Roads and paths for the movement of men and
material
Electrical works
• For placing the various equipment in the
switchyard.
• The no. of columns and beams to support the
busbars and incoming and outgoing connections
depends upon the system voltage.
• It should reveals
 Physical position of each equipment
 Distance between various equipments
 Phase segregation distance
 Phase to ground clearance
Erection
• In electrical layout, overhead wire (for protecting
against lightning strokes) will be marked. O/H wire
decides no. of columns and beams by the structural
engineer.
• Steel erection key- determines no. of various structures
to be fabricated and helps the field erectors to erect
the various structures at right positions.
• No. of supporting structures (Las, Pts, CTs, CBs,
Insulators, etc) should be finalized from the drawing
• Supporting structures, columns and beams may be of
steel or reinforced cement concrete.
Clearances

Various clearances for different voltages


 T o ensure satisfactory performance in service
 Safety of personnel in inspection, operation and maintenance work

Electrical clearance
 Earth clearance
 Phase clearance (flash over)
 Section clearance-safety clearance to conductors (min distance bt
unscreened live wires and work section. When screens are
interposed, the distance is to be taken as a taut string measurement
around the edge of the screen)
 Ground clearance- safety clearance to insulators (min distance bt
insulators and work section)
Work section (open type switchgear)
• It should be capable of delimitation by screens
or other means of restricting access to live
conductors
• Any convenient sub division of a switching
station that include one or more items of
equipment
Busbar material
• Bus bar conductor
• Post type insulators
• Suspension insulator strings
• Terminal connectors, clamps, tees, etc
