A site where electricity supplied by long-distance (high-voltage) transmission lines is transformed and/or regulated for local (low-voltage) distribution
A SUBSTATION is a facility, generally a small building with a fenced-in yard containing switches, transformers and other equipment used to adjust voltages and monitor circuits
Location where high voltage transmission lines connect to switchgear and step-down transformers to produce lower voltages at lower power levels for local distribution networks
A set of transformers that change the voltage of electrical energy to levels appropriate for end use
A facility used for switching and/or changing or regulating the voltage of electricity Service equipment, line transformer installations, or minor distribution or transmission equipment are not classified as substations
A substation is a place where high-voltage electricity from power plants is converted to lower-voltage electricity for homes or factories. a place where electricity is passed on from the place that produces it into the main system
a subsidiary station where electricity is transformed for distribution by a low-voltage network
A satellite police station serving one neighborhood or part of a larger jurisdiction
A small building or fenced-in yard containing switches, transformers and other equipment and structures Adjustments of voltage, monitoring of circuits and other service functions take place in this installation BACK TO TOP
An electrical control centre between a power station and your home where transformers lower electricity's voltage
An assemblage of equipment for the purposes of switching and/or changing or regulating the voltage of electricity Service equipment, line transformer installations or minor distribution and transmission equipment are not classified as substations
A location where observations are taken or other services are furnished by people not located at NWS offices who do not need to be certified to take observations
