  To practically understand the various connections,incoming ,outgoing lines and the the
way of connecting the different components like bus-bar, Isolators, various switchgear
equipments, transformers etc.

Outcome :

 Understood the basics of power system components and the concept of

transformers,reactors ,different connections of the transformers etc.
 Understood the functioning of various components involved in the substation designing.
 understood the various switchgear equipments which plays the major role in substation
protection in the power system .Even they understood some of the latest technologies
used in the substation designing.
 Understanding the relay panel,PLC SCADA Pannel ,different types of automation in the
control .

 Guard ring

LA

LA is used to protect the Equipment from lightning .Its use to make system safe
from overvoltage of lightning .it ground the overvotaage .LA internally uses linear
resistance .

The modern gapless Metal

Oxide arresters comprise of
the following main parts -

Zinc Oxide Blocks :

These blocks are stacked in
series to obtain required
voltage level of the arrester.

Porcelain/polymeric Housing:
Is a hollow insulator in which
the ZnO blocks are stacked and
sealed so that the blocks are not
exposed to the atmosphere

2] Inter connected transformer :

 Conservator tank

Main ICT
Cololing fins

This is inter connected transformer .

which switches one voltage level to another voltage level from 400kv to 220 kv .
This is manufactured by CGL .
It is the heart of the substation . its Capacity is 501MVA of three units.
Its Air cooled Oil cooled Type transformer.

Parts of ICT :Breather & Fins
