what is meant by substation?

Answer Posted / shoaib9786

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
