Answer / pragathi
The assembly of apparatus used to change some
characteristics (eg., voltage, ac to dc conversion,
frequency, power factor, switching operation etc.,)of
electric supply is called a sub-station.

Answer / h r jadhav
in power system sub station is playing very vital role for
handeling electrical juise. it is a place where power
transformers or power distribution transformers are
installed and being uesed for transforming one voltage
level into another desired system voltage level of
electrical energy in a energy efficient way.and called as
sub station.
| Is This Answer Correct ? | 5 Yes | 0 No |
when a generating station produces power, the voltage is
around 11kv... This voltage is stepped up to 220kv for
transmission purpose and then at a receiving station it is
stepped down to 66kv and then transmitted to a substation
where the voltage is further droppped to around 6.6kv for
distribution purpose. So a substation is a place where
power is transmitted from receiving station and stepped
down.
hope that answers

What is the theoretical reason for the size of a zig zag grounding transformer to be 1.732 times less than that of a wye-delta grounding transformer used for the same application?
write circuit diagram for a motor rotate in forward direction once it started and when pressed the same button it should rotate in anticlockwise.
why we are connecting the alternator to a steam turbine of higher RPM then the rated RPM of alternator? For example:( connecting 1500 rpm alternator to 7600 rpm steam turbine). we can directly connect the same rpm turbine to alternator know??? is there any special reason ???

How to calculate energy stored in a capacitance
Dear Respected sir how to test ABB REX521 protection relay by relay tester.
how would you determin the horsepower of a motor without a nameplate
1. If we apply dc supply to the primary winding of transformer it will be burnt out. similarly dc supply is given to field winding of syn. motor and armature winding of dc motor, they are safe. (Remember both windings inductive nature) what is the reason behind that?
