CHAPTER-8 . SWITCHYARD EQUIPMENT- HV Bus Bars, SWITCHYARD Structures, Isolating Switches, Current Transformers, Voltage Transformers, Lightning Arresters Introduction Outdoor step up substations at hydroelectric stations are provided to step up power at generated voltage generally for interconnection with the grid to evacuate power. Generation voltage varies from 415 volts to 11 kV (or higher) and step up voltage of small hydro up to 5 MW capacity may not exceed 36 kV. In case of large hydro stations the step up voltage may be up to 420 kV.
8.2.3 Basic Insulation Level and Insulation Coordination This is discussed in Para 6.7.2 for equipment up to 220 kV and Para 6.19 for EHV equipment for 420 kV. 8.2.4 Insulators Provision of adequate insulation in a substation is of primary importance from the point of view of reliability of supply and safety of personnel.
