INTRODUCTION

Definition of sub-station
a large network of transmission and distribution. At
many place in the line of power system, it may be
desirable and necessary to change some characteristic
(e.g. Voltage, ac to dc, frequency p.f. etc.) of electric
supply. This is accomplished by suitable apparatus
called sub-station for example, generation voltage
(11KV or 6.6KV) at the power station is stepped up to
high voltage (Say 220KV to 132KV) for transmission of
electric
Power.
Similarly, near the consumers
localities, the voltage may have to be stepped down to
utilization level. Suitable apparatus called sub-station
again accomplishes this job
