WHAT IS A MINI SUBSTATION?
A substation is a part of an electrical generation, transmission, and distribution system. Substations transform voltage from high to low – or the reverse – or perform any of several other important functions. Between the generating station and consumer, electric power may flow through several substations at different voltage levels. A substation may include transformers to change voltage levels between high transmission voltages and lower distribution voltages, or at the interconnection of two different transmission voltages.
Substations can be owned and operated by an electrical utility, or a large industrial or commercial customer. Generally substations are unattended, relying on a control system for remote supervision and control.
