SUBSTATIONSubstations transfer energy or power between a generating station and the end consumer. A substation transforms the voltage of the energy from high to low or low to high. The different types of substations include transmission, distribution, collector, converter, switching, railway, and mobile substations. A substation includes switching, control and protection equipment, breakers and transformers.

CONSTRUCTION

Building a substation requires cutting metal buswork, metal hole punching, and fastening equipment.

RECOMMENDED PRODUCTS: IMPACT WRENCHES, METAL CUTTING SAWS

MAINTENANCE

Regular maintenance of each substation is critical, including the replacement of equipment when needed.

DISTRIBUTIONThe distribution phase is when the energy or power is transferred to the end user. During this phase, poles are constructed, equipment such as insulators, cap banks, and transformers are mounted, and ground rods are installed.

UNDERGROUNDDISTRIBUTION

Concrete vaults require drilling for connections to be made and cable termination. Primary lines are tightened inside the vault and secondary lines in the padmount.

VEGETATIONMANAGEMENT

Clearing vegetation is vital to avoid damage to utility equipment or obstruction in delivering energy. This includes trimming tree branches from lines, clearing right-of-ways, and cutting high grass near poles.

RECOMMENDED PRODUCTS: CHAIN SAWS, POLE SAWS, COUPLE SHAFT POWER HEAD

METERINGEach form of power ends with a meter, a device used to measure usage or consumption.
