Introduction:
The present day electrical power system is a.c i.e. electric power is
generated, transmitted and distributed in the form of Alternating current. The
electric power is produce at the power station, which are located at favorable
places. It is delivered to the consumer through 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 consumer’s localities, the voltage may have to be
stepped down to utilization level. This job is again accomplished by suitable
apparatus called sub-stations.
1.1 Substation:
An electrical substation is a subsidiary station of an electricity
generation, transmission and distribution system where voltage is transformed
high to low or the reverse using transformers. Electric power may flow through
several substations between generation plant and consumer, and may be
changed in voltage in several steps.

14. Chapter 2
Equipment Used in a Sub-Station
The equipment required for a transformer Sub-Station depends upon the
type of Sub-Station, Service requirement and the degree of protection desired.
TIF Sub-Station has the following major equipments.
2.1 Transformers:
Transformer is a static machine, which transforms the potential of
alternating current at same frequency. It means the transformer transforms the
low voltage into high voltage & high voltage to low voltage at same frequency.
It works on the principle of static induction principle.
When the energy is transformed into a higher voltage, the transformer is called
step up transformer but in case of other is known as step down transformer.
TYPES OF TRANSFORMERS
2.1.1 Power Transformer:
It is used for the transmission purpose at heavy load, high voltage
greater than 33 KV & 100% efficiency. It also having a big in size as compare
to distribution transformer, it used in generating station and Transmission
substation at high insulation level. They can be of two types: Single Phase
Transformers and Multi Phase Transformers.

17. 2.1.1.1 Parts of power transformer:
15

18. i. Conservator Tank:
This is a cylindrical tank mounted on supporting structure on the
roof the transformer main tank. The main function of conservator tank of
transformer is to provide adequate space for expansion of oil inside the
transformer.
Function of Conservator Tank of a Transformer:
When transformer is loaded and when ambient temperature rises,
the volume of oil inside transformer increases. A conservator tank of
transformer provides adequate space to this expanded transformer oil. It also
acts as a reservoir for transformer insulating oil.
Construction of Conservator Tank:
This is a cylindrical shaped oil container closed from both ends.
One large inspection cover is provided on either side of the container to
facilitate maintenance and cleaning inside of the conservator.
Conservator pipe, i.e. pipe comes from main transformer tank, is
projected inside the conservator from bottom portion. Head of the
conservator pipe inside the conservator is provided with a cap. This pipe is
projected as well as provided with a cap because this design prevents oil
sludge and sediment to enter into main tank from conservator. Generally
silica gel breather fixing pipe enters into the conservator from top. If it enters
from bottom, it should be projected well above the level of oil inside the
conservator. This arrangement ensures that oil does not enter the silica gel
breather even at highest operating level.
16

19. Working of Conservator Tank:
When volume of transformer insulating oil increases due to load
and ambient temperature, the vacant space above the oil level inside the
conservator is partially occupied by the expanded oil. Consequently,
corresponding quantity of air of that space is pushed away through breather.
On other hand, when load of transformer decreases, the transformer is
switched off and when the ambient temperature decreases, the oil inside the
transformer contracts. This causes outside air to enter in the conservator tank
of transformer through silica gel breather.
ii. Tape Changer:
A tap changer is a connection point selection mechanism along
a power transformer winding that allows a variable number of turns to be
selected in discrete steps. A transformer with a variable turns ratio is
produced, enabling stepped voltage regulation of the output. The tap
selection may be made via an automatic or manual tap changer mechanism.
17

20. Voltage considerations:
If only one tap changer is required, manually operated tap
points are usually made on the high voltage (primary) or lower current
winding of the transformer to minimize the current handling requirements
of the contacts. However, a transformer may include a tap changer on
each winding if there are advantages to do so. For example, in power
distribution networks, a large step-down transformer may have an off-
load tap changer on the primary winding and an on-load automatic tap
changer on the secondary winding or windings. The high voltage tap is
set to match long term system profile on the high voltage network
(typically supply voltage averages) and is rarely changed. The low
voltage tap may be requested to change positions multiple times each day,
without interrupting the power delivery, to follow loading conditions on
the low-voltage (secondary winding) network.
To minimize the number of winding taps and thus reduce the
physical size of a tap changing transformer, a 'reversing' tap changer
winding may be used, which is a portion of the main winding able to be
connected in its opposite direction (buck) and thus oppose the voltage.
iii. Buchholz Relay:
Buchholz relay in transformer is an oil container housed the
connecting pipe from main tank to conservator tank. It has mainly two
elements. The upper element consists of a float. The float is attached to a
hinge in such a way that it can move up and down depending upon the oil
level in the Buchholz relay Container. One mercury switch is fixed on the
float. The alignment of mercury switch hence depends upon the position
of the float.
The lower element consists of a baffle plate and mercury switch.
This plate is fitted on a hinge just in front of the inlet (main tank side) of
Buchholz relay in transformer in such a way that when oil enters in the
relay from that inlet in high pressure the alignment of the baffle plate
along with the mercury switch attached to it, will change.
18

21. In addition to these main elements a Buchholz relay has gas release
pockets on top. The electrical leads from both mercury switches are taken
out through a molded terminal block.
iv. Silica Gel Breather of Transformer:
Whenever electrical power transformer is loaded, the temperature of
the transformer insulating oil increases, consequently the volume of the oil is
increased. As the volume of the oil is increased, the air above the oil level in
conservator will come out. Again at low oil temperature; the volume of the oil is
decreased, which causes the volume of the oil to be decreased which again
causes air to enter into conservator tank.
The natural air always consists of more or less moisture in it and this
moisture can be mixed up with oil if it is allowed to enter into the transformer.
The air moisture should be resisted during entering of the air into the
transformer, because moisture is very harmful for transformer insulation. A
silica gel breather is the most commonly used way of filtering air from moisture.
Silica gel breather for transformer is connected with conservator tank by
means of breathing pipe.
19

22. Construction of Silica Gel Breather:
The silica gel breather of transformer is very simple in the aspect of
design. It is nothing but a pot of silica gel through which, air passes during
breathing of transformer. The silica gel is a very good absorber of moisture.
Freshly regenerated gel is very efficient, it may dry down air to a dew point of
below −40°C. A well maintained silica gel breather will generally operate with a
dew point of −35°C as long as a large enough quantity of gel has been used. The
picture shows a silica gel breather of transformer.
Working Principle of Silica Gel Breather:
Silica gel crystal has tremendous capacity of absorbing moisture. When
air passes through these crystals in the breather; the moisture of the air is
absorbed by them. Therefore, the air reaches to the conservator is quite dry, the
dust particles in the air get trapped by the oil in the oil seal cup. The oil in the
oil sealing cup acts as barrier between silica gel crystal and air when there is no
flow of air through silica gel breather. The color of silica gel crystal is dark blue
but, when it absorbs moisture; it becomes pink.
When there is sufficient difference between the air inside the conservator
and the outside air, the oil level in two components of the oil seal changes until
the lower oil level just reaches the rim of the inverted cup, the air then moves
from high pressure compartment to the low pressure compartment of the oil
20

23. seal. Both of these happen when the oil acts as core filter and removes the dust
from the outside air.
2.1.2 Instrument Transformers:
These transformers are used for the measurement purposes at that
points where standard voltmeters and ammeters cannot be used. They are of two
types:
2.1.2.1 CURRENT TRANSFORMER:
A current transformer (CT) is used
for measurement of alternating electric currents.
When current in a circuit is too high to apply
directly to measuring instruments, a current
transformer produces a reduced current accurately
proportional to the current in the circuit, which
can be conveniently connected to measuring and
recording instruments. A current transformer
isolates the measuring instruments from what
may be very high voltage in the monitored circuit.

21

24. 2.1.2.2 POTENTIAL OR VOLTAGE TRANSFORMER:
Voltage transformers (VT) (also called
potential transformers (PT)) are a parallel connected
type of instrument transformer, used for metering
and protection in high-voltage circuits or phase shift
isolation. They are designed to present negligible
load to the supply being measured and to have an
accurate voltage ratio to enable accurate metering. A
potential transformer may have several secondary
windings on the same core as a primary winding, for
use in different metering or protection circuits.
Nameplate:
22

25. 2.1.2.3 Unit Auxiliary Transformers (UAT)
The Unit Auxiliary Transformer is the Power Transformer that
provides power to the auxiliary equipment of a power generating station during
its normal operation. This transformer is connected directly to the generator out-
put by a tap-off of the isolated phase bus duct and thus becomes cheapest source
of power to the generating station.
It is generally a three-winding transformer i.e. one primary and two
separate secondary windings. Primary winding of UAT is equal to the main
generator voltage rating. The secondary windings can have same or different
voltages i.e. generally 11KV and or 6.9KV as per plant layout.

27. Chapter 3:
Circuit Breaker:
3.1 Sf6 Circuit Breaker:
In such breakers, sulphur hexafluoride gas (SF6) is used as the arc
quenching medium.
The sulphur hexafluoride gas (SF6) is an electronegative gas and
has a strong tendency to absorb free electrons. The contacts of the breaker
are opened in a high pressure flow of sulphur hexafluoride (SF6) gas and
an arc is struck between them. The gas captures the conducting free
electrons in the arc to form relatively immobile negative ions. This loss of
conducting electrons in the arc quickly builds up enough insulation
strength to extinguish the arc.
The sulphur hexafluoride (SF6) circuit breakers have been found to be
very effective for high power and high voltage service.
Construction of SF6 Circuit Breaker:
A sulphur hexafluoride (SF6) circuit breaker consists of fixed and
moving contacts enclosed in a chamber. The chamber is called arc
interruption chamber which contains the sulphur hexafluoride (SF6) gas.
This chamber is connected to sulphur hexafluoride (SF6) gas reservoir. A
25

28. valve mechanism is there to permit the gas to the arc interruption
chamber. When the contacts of breaker are opened, the valve mechanism
permits a high pressure sulphur hexafluoride (SF6) gas from the reservoir
to flow towards the arc interruption chamber.
The fixed contact is a hollow cylindrical current carrying contact
fitted with an arc horn. The moving contact is also a hollow cylinder with
rectangular holes in the sides. The holes permit the sulphur hexafluoride
gas (SF6) gas to let out through them after flowing along and across the
arc. The tips of fixed contact, moving contact and arcing horn are coated
with copper-tungsten arc resistant material. Since sulphur hexafluoride
gas (SF6) gas is costly, it is reconditioned and reclaimed using suitable
auxiliary system after each operation of breaker.
Working of SF6 CB:
In the closed position of the breaker, the contacts remain
surrounded by sulphur hexafluoride gas (SF6) gas at a pressure of about
2.8 kg/cm2. When the breaker operates, the moving contact is pulled
apart and an arc is struck between the contacts. The movement of the
moving contact is synchronized with the opening of a valve which
permits sulphur hexafluoride gas (SF6) gas at 14 kg/cm2 pressure from
the reservoir to the arc interruption chamber.
The high pressure flow of sulphur hexafluoride gas (SF6) rapidly absorbs
the free electrons in the arc path to form immobile negative ions which
26

29. are ineffective as charge carriers. The result is that the medium between
the contacts quickly builds up high dielectric strength and causes the
extinction of the arc. After the breaker operation (i.e. after arc extinction),
the valve is closed by the action of a set of springs.
Advantages of SF6:
Due, to the superior arc quenching properties of sulphur
hexafluoride gas (SF6) gas, the sulphur hexafluoride gas (SF6) circuit
breakers have many advantages over oil or air circuit breakers. Some of
them are listed below Due to the superior arc quenching property of
sulphur hexafluoride gas (SF6), such circuit breakers have very short
arcing time.
Since the dielectric strength of sulphur hexafluoride (SF6) gas is 2
to 3 times that operation due unlike of air, such breakers can interrupt
much larger currents.
The sulphur hexafluoride gas (SF6) circuit breaker gives noiseless
operation due its closed gas circuit and no exhaust to atmosphere unlike
the air blast circuit breaker.
27

30. Chapter 4:
Bus Coupler
4.1 Bus Coupler:
Bus coupler is a device which is used to couple one bus to the other
without any interruption in power supply and without creating hazardous arcs.
Bus coupler is a breaker used to couple two bus-bars in order to perform
maintenance on other circuit breakers associated with that bus-bar.
It is achieved with the help of a circuit breaker and isolators.

Electrical Function Numbers
7.1 Introduction:
In the design of electrical power systems, the ANSI standard
device numbers (ANSI /IEEE Standard C37.2 Standard for Electrical Power
System Device Function Numbers, Acronyms, and Contact Designations)
identifies the features of a protective device such as a relay or circuit breaker.
These types of devices protect electrical systems and components from damage
when an unwanted event occurs, such as an electrical fault. Device numbers are
used to identify the functions of devices shown on a schematic diagram.
Function descriptions are given in the standard.
One physical device may correspond to one function number, for
example "29 Isolating Switch", or a single physical device may have many
function numbers associated with it, such as a numerical protective relay. Suffix
and prefix letters may be added to further specify the purpose and function of a

42. 7.3 Suffixes and prefixes:
A suffix letter or number may be used with the device
number; for example, suffix N is used if the device is connected to a
Neutral wire (example: 59N in a relay is used for protection against
Neutral Displacement); and suffixes X, Y, Z are used for auxiliary
devices. Similarly, the "G" suffix can denote a "ground"; hence a
"51G" is a time overcurrent ground relay. The "G" suffix can also
mean "generator", hence an "87G" is a Generator Differential
Protective Relay while an "87T" is a Transformer Differential
Protective Relay. "F" can denote "field" on a generator or "fuse", as in
the protective fuse for a pickup transformer. Suffix numbers are used
to distinguish multiple "same" devices in the same equipment such as
51-1, 51–2. Device numbers may be combined if the device provides
multiple functions, such as the instantaneous/time-delay AC over
