Abstract

This chapter focuses on substation equipment, which is used in power systems to transport and distribute the electric energy from power-generation plants to households, offices, and factories efficiently. In transmission and distribution networks, switching equipment such as circuit breakers and disconnecting switches is required to open and close circuits in power systems. When a fault occurs, circuit breakers are needed to clear the fault quickly to ensure system stability. Circuit breakers must also be able to carry a load current without excessive heating and withstand the system voltage during normal and abnormal conditions.

Measuring equipment such as instrument transformers and overvoltage protection units such as surge arresters are also used in power systems. Surge arresters are installed at different locations in power systems to limit lightning-induced and switching-induced overvoltages to a specified protection level below the withstand voltage of the equipment.

It is also mainly devoted to technical description of switching equipment used in both high-voltage alternating current () and high-voltage direct current () power systems. Fundamental interrupting and switching phenomena for different switching equipment are discussed.

Readers should note that more detailed and specific information on switching equipment can be found in many technical brochures and documents published by CIGRE, including the CIGRE Green Book on switching equipment.
