Abstract
This chapter focuses on substation equipment, which is used in power systems to transport and distribute the electric energy from power-generation plants to households, offices, and factories efficiently. In transmission and distribution networks, switching equipment such as circuit breakers and disconnecting switches is required to open and close circuits in power systems. When a fault occurs, circuit breakers are needed to clear the fault quickly to ensure system stability. Circuit breakers must also be able to carry a load current without excessive heating and withstand the system voltage during normal and abnormal conditions.
