  8. Railway Overhead Line (Catenary)

58. Overhead AC transmission lines usually carry 3-phase current. The voltages can be different according to the particular grid system they belong to. Transmission voltages vary from 69 kv up to 765 kv.

59. The DC voltage transmission tower has lines in pairs rather than in threes (for 3-phase current) as in AC voltage lines. One line is the positive current line and the other is the negative current line. The picture shows the examples of different overhead transmission line structures in use today.

60.
Some typical transmission line structures

61.

62. High-voltage overhead lines are made of aluminium wires not covered by insulation. Wires have several strands and are often reinforced with steel strands. Copper was sometimes used before for overhead transmission but aluminium weighs less and is cheaper. Overhead conductors can have cross sectional area from 12 mm2 to 750 mm2. Transmission voltages are usually 110 kV and above. Voltages 66 kV and 33 kV are sometimes used on long lines with small loads. Voltages less than 33 kV are usually used for distribution.

63. Insulators are usually made of porcelain or glass and can be stacked in a suspension insulator string. They hang from a cross arm on a tower or pole and support the line conductor. Suspension insulators are used for very high voltage systems.

73. A pothead is a type of insulator with a bell or pot-like shape used to connect underground electrical cables to overhead lines. It separates the conductors from one another in the cable. It also seals the cable end from the weather. Potheads are mounted on a distribution pole.

74.
Air circuit breaker

75. Air circuit breakers are used to break circuits while current flows through them. Compressed air is used to quench the arc when the connection is broken.

76.
Bus support insulators

77.

78. Bus support insulators are porcelain or fiberglass insulators that serve to isolate the bus bar switches and other support structures and to prevent leakage current from flowing through the structure or to ground. These insulators are similar in function to other insulators used in substations and transmission poles and towers.

Substation

129. A substation is a high-voltage electric system facility. It is used to switch on and off generators, equipment, and circuits or lines in a system. It also is used to change AC voltages from one level to another, and/or change alternating current to direct current or direct current to alternating current. Some substations are small. They have a transformer and switches. Other substations are very large with several transformers and dozens of switches and other equipment.

130.

131. Substation control house

132. The substation control house contains switchboard panels, batteries, battery chargers, supervisory control, power-line carrier, meters, and relays. The control house provides all weather protection and security for the control equipment. It is also called a doghouse.

133.

134. Batteries

135. Batteries are used in the substation control house to power the control systems in case of a power blackout.

136.

137.
Substation control panel

138. Control panels contain meters, control switches and recorders located in the control building, also called a doghouse. These are used to control the substation equipment, to send power from one circuit to another or to open or to shut down circuits when needed.

139.
Substation control panel relays

140. Relays in substation control panelare used to trigger circuit breakers and other switches in substations and transmission and distribution systems.

141.

142.

143. Substation Types:

144. 1. A step-up transmission substation receives electric power from a nearby power plant and uses a large power transformer to increase the voltage for transmission to distant places. A transmission bus is used to distribute electric power to one or more transmission lines.

145. A substation can have circuit breakers that are used to switch generation and transmission circuits in and out of service. This is made in case of emergencies requiring shut-down of power to a circuit or redirection of power.

146. The voltages from a step-up transmission substation are determined by the customer needs in regional grids. Typical voltages are:
High voltage (HV) ac: 69 kV, 115 kV, 138 kV, 161 kV, 230 kV

147. Extra-high voltage (EHV) ac: 345 kV, 500 kV, 765 kV

148. Ultra-high voltage (UHV) ac: 1100 kV, 1500 kV

149. Direct-current high voltage (dc HV): ±250 kV, ±400 kV, ±500 kV

150. Direct current voltage is either positive or negative polarity. A DC line has two conductors, so one would be positive and the other negative.

154. 2. Step-down transmission substations are located at switching points in an electrical grid. They connect different parts of a grid and are a source for subtransmission lines (distribution lines). The step-down substation can change the transmission voltage to a subtransmission voltage, usually 69 kV. The subtransmission voltage lines can then serve as a source to distribution substations. The power goes to a distribution substation.

159. 3. Distribution substations are located near to the end-users. Distribution substation transformers change the transmission voltage to lower levels for use by end-users. Typical distribution voltages vary from 34,500Y/19,920 volts to 4,160Y/2400 volts.

160. 34,500Y/19,920 volts means a three-phase circuit with a grounded neutral source. This would have three high-voltage conductors or wires and one grounded neutral conductor, a total of four wires. The voltage between the three phase conductors or wires would be 34,500 volts and the voltage between one phase conductor and the neutral ground would be 19,920 volts.

161. From distribution substation the power is distributed to industrial, commercial, and residential customers.

166. An underground system may consist of these parts:
