Answer / g venkateshwarlu
The use of a an Electrical substation is either to step
up / stepdown the voltage of the transmission line to suit
the voltage level to be distributed either directly or
indirectly to the consumers. Normally, voltage will be
stepped down for the distribution purpose.
Transmission voltage is 400 KV in India. It will be stepped
down to 400 KV / 220 KV / 132 KV / 33 KV / 11 KV or 415V
level to suit to the requred level.

Answer / stalinborn
substation is used to change voltage level whether it is
step up or step down using transformer.The secondary of
transformer will feed to many feeders.for measurement and
protection of devices in substation there will be CT and PT.

25 Answers ABB, LGS,
One of our gas turbine generator unit "1st stage rotor ground fault" alarm was occured several times. we tried to measure some voltage vulue ground fault protection relay (UNS3020a made by ABB and we measured the value of: Ground: 0.9VDC 5V: 5.8VDC 24V: 23VDC u+: 300 – 350mVAC Rf1: 17.5mVAC Rf2: 17.6mVAC The unit still running and the alarm was reset. As of 6pm yesterday and unitl now no alarm happened again. I our protection relay was defective?
