Typical AC Power System
(i) Generating Station
• Electrical power is produced by 3phase
alternator connected in parallel
• Usual generation voltage is 11kV due to
economic consideration.
• High voltage transmission is recommended
because of the following reasons (i) save the
conductor material (ii) Improve the transmission
efficiency.
Step up transformer
• 11kv 132kV or 220kV
Busbars
(long heavy
tube type)
Operating
Mechanism
Panel
Circuit Breakers
( Connected in a typical 3-
phase circuit )
•When the capacitor bank is energized, the network is subjected to high voltage and
Inrush current
•Reactors damping the effects (reducing the inrush currents/switching currents)

Reactors and Capacitors in Substation
1. Series reactors
• Reactors connected series with the line or
feeder.
• Uses are fault current deduction, load
balancing in parallel circuit & limiting the
inrush current of capacitor bank.
Filter Reactor
b) System grounding
2.Resistance grounding
3.Reactance grounding
3.Reactance grounding
Advantages
•Completely effective in preventing any damage by
arcing ground
•Advantages of ungrounded neutral system
Disadvantages
•Inductance L require readjustment

Voltage transformer Earthing
• A Single phase transformer is connected to neutral
and earth.
• A low resistor in series with a relay is connected
across the secondary of the voltage transformer.
• The voltage transformer provide high reactance in
the neutral earthing circuit.
• Operate virtually as an ungrounded neutral system.
• An earth fault on any phase produces a voltage
across the relay.
• This cause operation of protective relay( protective
device)
