Substation Layout: Design and Considerations
Substation Layout: Design and Considerations
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
