Frequently asked questions
A distribution station is a facility that reduces high-voltage electricity from transmission lines to lower voltages suitable for local distribution to homes and businesses.
Feeder protection prevents damage to equipment and ensures safety by isolating faults quickly, maintaining system reliability and minimizing outages.
Common devices include circuit breakers, relays, fuses, and reclosers, which detect and interrupt abnormal current flow.
A relay senses abnormal conditions like overcurrent and sends a signal to open the circuit breaker, cutting off power to the faulted section.
