 Introduction to Pole Mounted Substation
A mounted Substation is an outdoor step-down distribution substation that is placed
on an overhead pole. It is the cheapest, smallest, and simplest substation. This type of
substation does not have any building works. The transformer is mounted on an H-type
pole or Four Pole Structure. The electrical power supply comes into our house mostly
from this pole-mounted substation.

 Pole Mounted Substation Diagram

You can see, the 11KV lines are first connected to the fuse. It is a single-line
diagram, which is why here only one fuse is shown in actual all the three phases have
separate fuses. The output of the fuse is connected to the isolator. And the output of the
isolator is connected to the transformer input terminal. The output of the transformer is
connected to the Oil Circuit Breaker. And the output of the oil circuit breaker is provided
to the consumer. Also, you can see the lightning arrester is connected with incoming
lines.
Three-phase consumers are supplied from all the three phases so they will get
400V. The single-phase consumers are supplied with any one phase and neutral, so they
will get 230V. Single-phase consumers are equally distributed from the transformer, so
the transformer can give the maximum output with high efficiency.

 Capacity Pole Mounted Substation

Voltage Rating: The voltage rating of the pole-mounted substation is 11KV/400V. It

provides a line voltage of 400V for a three-phase system and 230V for a single-phase
 system.

Current Capacity: The current capacity of the pole-mounted substation varies with the
load requirements. The current balancing system is arranged, so the transformer can give
the maximum efficiency.

Power Capacity: The power capacity of the pole-mounted substation is up to 250 KVA.

Transformer Connection: The transformer in pole pole-mounted substation is generally

delta-star connected.

 Use of Pole Mounted Substation

Pole mounted substation is used for the low-voltage power distribution. It generally
supplies the electrical power supply to the domestic consumers. It steps up the voltage
from three phase three wire 11KV into three phase four wire 400V and single phase 230V
power supply. The main advantage of this substation is it provides output in both three-
phase and single-phase. So it can be used to provide power supply to both the single
phase and three phase consumer.

 Structure and Construction of Pole Mounted Substation

All the equipment and transformer are placed on the pole. The 11 KV incoming
lines are connected to the transformer through the gang isolator and HT fuses. A triple
pole mechanically operated gang isolator switch is used. When the transformer needs to
disconnect from the power supply the isolator can be operated from the downside handle.
Also, the lightning arrester is connected at the High voltage side which will protect
the transformer and its output circuit from the lightning stroke. An Oil Circuit
Breaker(O.C.B) is installed on the Low voltage side of the transformer that will
disconnect the output load or consumer automatically when any fault occurs. During the
maintenance or repair of the transformer, both of the high-voltage side isolator and low-
voltage side circuit breaker should be turned off so the transformer will be completely
disconnected or be isolated from the incoming power supply and consumers. The
installation and maintenance cost of the pole-mounted substation is very low compared to
other substations because it has low-capacity equipment and structure.
