A Practical Introduction
to Equipment and Control
Systems
This basic course in substation equipment
and controls will introduce you to the
equipment that makes up an electric
substation. It will explain how each type of
equipment operates and guide you through
the control and wiring diagrams that
control equipment operation.
What You Will Study
You will learn about construction,
operation, and control of:
• Power transformers
• Load tap changers
• Voltage regulators
• Power circuit breakers
• Circuit switchers
• Capacitor banks
You will also study:
• Protective relays
• Trip schematics and wiring diagrams
• Auxiliary equipment and systems
• Metalclad switchgear
