The main use of this line trap is to prevent the flow of carrier signal towards
substation and at the same time offers negligible impedance to the power
frequency current. The line traps are connected in series with the high voltage
lines on the station side. It should be inserted between bus bar and connection of
CVT to the line.
Lightening Arrester
Surge arrester is the first equipment
in the
switchyard. This equipment is
designed to
protect all other equipments in the
switchyard from high voltage surges
or nlightning surges. It is always
connected between phase conductor
to earth. Surge arrester commonly
using
in EHV system are gapless zinc oxide
arrester.
ISOLATORS
Isolators are disconnecting switches which are used for disconnecting of the
circuit under no load conditions. They are installed in such a way that a part
of substation circuit can be isolators from other live parts for the purpose of
maintenance. Isolators play a important role in maintenance of a substation
CIRCUIT BREAKER
Circuit breakers are switching and current interrupting
devices, basically a circuit breaker comprises a set
of fixed and movable contacts. The contact can be
separated by means of an operating mechanism.
The separation of current carrying contacts produces
an arc.
The arc is extinguished by a suitable medium such as
dielectric oil, vacuum, SF6gas. The circuit breakers
are necessary at every switching point in the substation.
CONTROL PANEL
Control panel is most important equipment of
the substation as it work as shield guard for all
substation equipments and electrical network.
Moreover, these panels are useful to control the
flow of electricity as per the Voltage class and
detect the faults in transmission lines.
In this panel, varieties of numerical &
electromechanical relays are installed to provide
damage protection to equipments. Meters,
Semaphore indicators, Control Switches,
Indicating lamps, Push Buttons, Annunciator, Test
Blocks and Test Plugs are among of major
equipments installed as per designing
requirements.
Relays
A relay is automatic device which senses an
abnormal condition of electrical circuit and
closes its contacts. These contacts in turns close and
complete the circuit breaker trip coil
circuit hence make the circuit breaker tripped for
disconnecting the faulty portion of the
electrical circuit from rest of the healthy circuit.
