• GRID (Power system) is an interconnection of Generating
stations, transmission network & distribution centres.
• GRID Voltage: 220KV/400KV. Fequency. 50 Hz.
• Generation is economical at higher voltage (HV) because of
insulation requirement.(15.75KV/21 KV)
• Transmission is economical at EHV level to reduce
transmission losses.220/400/765 KV)
• Distribution has to be done at consumer level.(33/11 KV)
• • .Transformer equation N1 = V1 = I2
• N2 V2 I1 3
• From Generator to GRID ( Busbar).
Generator:
• 247 MVA / 210 MW
• Stator - 15.75 KV. 9050 Amp. 0.85 Lag. P.f .
• 3000 rpm.
• 2 Pole.
• Rotor – 310 V dc. 2600 Amp. dc.
• Y-Y connected.
• Class of insulation – B.
• Stator water – 27 cubic meter / Hr. < 3 micro-mho/cm.

• Hydrogen gas – 3.5 Kg/cm2. 99% pure.
• Generator transformer:
• Power transformer
• Step up transformer -
15.75KV/220KV or 400KV
• Connection - Delta /Star
• 250 MVA for 210 MW unit
• Type of cooling – OFWF
• Off Load Tap Changer(OLTC
5
Lightening arrestor:
• Nonlinear resistances
• Metal oxide varistor (MOV
• It contains a material,
typically granular zinc oxid
• Connected in series
ADVANTAGES: DISADVANTAGES:
Low initial cost Interruption of supply on
Simple operation faults
Easy maintenance Least flexible in case of
shut-down
8
ADVANTAGES:
• Faulty section can be isolated without affecting supply.
• Separate maintenance of each section is possible.
• Lower ratings of circuit breakers can be used along with
current limiting reactors.
• Additional circuit breaker needed for sectionalizing

• 3 bus pattern
• 2 main/load buses &1 transfer bus. 6 – 7 meters in length each.
• Used for very important substations like S/S connected to a
large power station.
• Used in Koradi / Khaperkheda TPS switchyard . 11
• Isolators
• Center-Break Isolator • Pantograph
13
Circuit Breakers (On load make/break device)
• SF6 gas- SF6 CB
Excellent
Dielectric & Arc
quenching prop-
erties
• Electronegative
• Chemically inert
gas
• Non flammable
Gas pressure-
6–7
• SF6 CB – Long service & less maintenance
Kg/cm2
Electrical motor or pneumatic operated.
Can be Used up to 765 KV circuit 14

1.BUSBARS
• Busbars in Electric Power System are one of the
most vital elements.
• It is a JUNCTION POINT that handles power
transactions between Source & Load.
• Comprises of Incoming & Outgoing Sections.
• Are usually of Aluminum.
• ACSR cond. /round/hollow/tubular conductors
• The bus-bars are of 5 or 6 meters in length.

From Busbar to transmisionline

2.Current Transformer
• Transformer equation N1 = V1 = I2
• N2 V2 I1
• It is an Instrument transformer to
step down high circuit currents to
low value for metering & protec
tion purpose.
• Connected in series with the circuit
• Primary is the circuit conductor,
Single turn.Secondary has more turns
• Filled with transformer oil
• Standard CT secondary ratings-
1 / 5 Amp 18
Used for ;
1.Metering or measurement,
protection,
19
2.Potential Transformer
• It is also an Instrument transformer
to step down circuits high voltages
to low value for metering & protec -
tion purpose.
• Connected across /in-shunt with
the circuit
• Filled with transformer oil
• Standard secondary ratings-110 V.
20
• Coupling Capacitor Voltage Transformer ( CVT )
• Used for extra high voltage
circuit
• Capacitor voltage divider
• Inductor to tune to the supply
frequency
• Output through - Electromagnetic voltage transformer
• Secondary output is 110 V.
• CVT is less accurate than PT
21
• Reactor
• Shunt reactors are used to
absorb capacitive reactive
power of an EHV line (220
or 400 KV) Of more than
300 km length.
• During charging of such
lines receiving end voltage
increases due to Ferranti
effect.
• Leading to tripping of line,
over-fluxing of
transformer, overstressing
of insulators
• Typical rating - 50 MVAR
22
• Wave trap (Line trap):
• It trap the high frequency
communication signals sent on
the line from the remote
substation and divert it to the
telecom / teleprotection panel in
the substation control room
(through coupling capacitor and
Line Matching Unit (LMU).
• It is connected in series with the
power (transmission)line.
• It is basically an inductor of
rating in mili-henry.
• It blocks the high frequency carrier waves(24 KHz to
500 KHz) and let power waves (50Hz - 60Hz) to pass
through for effective, fast & reliable communication.
