SCOPE This stonderd shows typicel distribution substotion equipment arrangements ond provides guidonce on tne type of equipment used. PURPOSE The purpose of this standard is to provide guidelines for the general arrongement and ratings of equipment in typical distribution substations. It is to be used for planning new substations, and expansions to existing ones. Coordinetion between District Engineering, Substation Engineering, ond Transmission Planning is needed GUIDELINES FOR DISTRIBUTION SUBSTATION A Station Capecity Property purchased for ¢ new 12KV distribution substation should be gdequote for a totol nominal copacity of 100, 7 or 50 MVA, using 15/20/25 (28) MWA transformers. Remote areas and special locctions are exceptions. Selection of the substation property is discussed in Design Stondard 6330, titled "Distribution Substation Siting Procedures", The ultimate one-line diagrams for 50, 75 and 100 MVA distribution substation are shown in the diagrams on pages 6312.3 thru 6312.5. These diagroms are intended to guide the district engineer in plonning activities ond not to dictate the actual substation design, = Station Getaways New 12KV circuit getaweys will normally be underground. The stendard getoway wil be one run of 1000 kemil oluminum cable. Qverhecd gelowys moy be installed ot rural substetions where only o few circuits are planes end area aesthetics are not materially affected. The number of Circuits installed in a duct bank is dependent’ on the economics of reducing cable ampacity. Design Standares 5521, "Feeder Cable Ampacities Gesed On Thermal Loading Limits", and 5522, “Cable Ampacity Program” provide guidance on determining cable ampaclty. Four-Wire Distribution All new 12kV substotion are to be designed for compatibility with four—wire operation requirements according to Design Stondard 6621 “Application Of Primary Neutral”. New circuit construction is to inelide installation of « neutral conductor. Bus Copecitors All new 12kV substations are to be designed with an ultimate capacitor rating of 6 MVAR for each 28 MVA transformer bonk. Substation capacitors: for var load requirements should be installed in accordance with the Copaciter Application Criteria".

Equipment Substation equipment, unless ecquired from existing stock, should tltimately conform to the following: 1. The_138kV and 69KV switeryard equipment will be rated as specified by Transmission Plenning and will have minimum opacity sufficient to occommodate the ultimate load of the cistribution substetion. 2. The tronsformer bank will be three phase, 15/20/25 (28) MVA, 65°C rise OV/FA/FA within 2 ten percent LTC. 3. The 12kV switchyard will provide 2,000 amp main bus capacity with 2,000 omp bus tie breaker. Low side lronsformer breaker positions will have ¢ short time overlosd capability compatible ith tronsformer loading standard 6311. The 12k feeder breakers will be rated 1,200 amps with an 18—20kA short circuit interrupting copobilty 4. All new substations will include aubstotion SCADA (status and contra!) in lieu of DPR equipment. Typical ultimate equipment arrangements for distribution substations ore shown on the following poges. Actual arrangements of new or existing substctions may be plonned differently depending on physical, economic ond reliability considerations.
