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 fun
View of a 50 Hz electrical substation in Australia, showing three 220 kV/66 kV (150 kVA) transformers. Steel lattice structures support strain bus wires and apparatus, and transformer fire barriers prevent catastrophic failure of any one transformer from damaging adjacent units.
An American 115 kV to 41.6/12.47 kV 5 MVA 60 Hz substation with circuit switcher, regulators, reclosers and control building. It shows elements of low-profile construction, with apparatus mounted on individual columns.

High-voltage substation in Kaanaa, Pori, Finland
In electrical engineering, a transformer is a passive component that transfers electrical energy from one electrical circuit to another circuit, or multiple circuits. A varying current in any coil of

…the generating station and the 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…
