1 Introduction
1.1 National Transmission & Dispatch Company
National Transmission & Dispatch Company is a Pakistani government-owned power
transmission company. It was established in 1998 and owns all 220 KV and 500KV grid
stations and transmission lines in Pakistan. Its present headquarters are located at WAPDA
House, Lahore, Pakistan.
TRANSMISSION NETWORK
500KV GRID STATION
220KV GRID STATIONS
POTENTIAL CONSUMERS
TRANSMISSION NETWORK
Longitudinal network, extends from North to South Hydro generation is mainly in Northern
part of the country and major thermal generation in South & in lower middle part of the
network. Large load centers are remote from major generation sources. Seasonal variation in
generation dispatch and in power flows:
Bulk power flows from north to mid-country in summer
Bulk power flows from south to mid-country and north in winter
KV No. of Grid Stations Transmission Line MVA Capacity
500KV 16 5970 km 22350
220KV 45 11322 km 31060
Total 61 17292 km 53410
2.3 Earthing
Provision of an effective, durable and a dependable earthing in a substation and switching
stations is very important for the safety of operating personnel as well as electrical devices.
The voltage levels do not rise above tolerable thresholds and that the earth connection is
rugged to dissipate the fault to the earth.
Earthing has a very low resistance and connects the electrical equipment to the general mass
of the earth.
3.4 Insulator
The main function of an insulator is to insulate live conductor or equipment at different
voltages with reference to the ground structures as well as provide mechanical support.
Provision of adequate insulation in a substation is of primary importance from the point of
view of reliability of supply and safety of personnel.
4.1 Insulator

voltages with reference to the ground structures as well as provide mechanical support.
Provision of adequate insulation in a substation is of primary importance from the point of
view of reliability of supply and safety of personnel.
4.2 Distribution Panelboard
Distribution panelboard consists of MCCBs, control equipment, meters and relays are housed
in the control room. The panel frame shall be connected to the earth grid by an earthing
conductor. A rubber mat of prescribed size and quality shall lay in front of panel.
