Is it the case that pole-mount transformers are called substations in the US? In this country a substation is on the ground - it's just called a transformer if it's on a pole. -- Ali@gwc.org.uk 00:17, 14 Nov 2004 (UTC)
I have started a section on the design of substations with relation to protection. I attended year aago a lecture by a high voltage substation expert whose specaility was protection syatems. Sadly I do not have references to many of the things which he talked out.
Does anyone know about events such as the Luton flashover, it was a serious flashover at the switching station at Luton (England) which caused a total failure of the high voltage system of the UK. It was a event many years ago which caused a change in the design of large substations. If you know about it please contact me via my talk page. Cadmium 11:59, 1 January 2006 (UTC)
Hi!
Does anyone have reference information for the text on EE35T?
"Overview of substation design and layout (EE35T)"
Are there any design guides availble on protection of substation components ?
Thanks,

The "Feeders" link under the Distribution substation leads to a page about the Welch rock group "feeder" as opposed a component of an electrical distribution system.
I am not currently aware of what a feeder is, otherwise I'd write the article about it. Gord.Duff _at_ bchydro.com —Preceding unsigned comment added by 142.52.81.12 ( talk) 16:13, 18 September 2007 (UTC)
I would love to see information on the emittance levels of power sub stations. A formula perhaps. I know it degrades logarithmicly but not how to calculate the amount from the type of station.
I noticed there are no health related sections in this article. Would someone in the know add something with the word health related to sub stations? Then perhaps a link to the article on EMR.
Perhaps we could also add info about the art installation of flourescent bulbs that were auto powered by the EMR from an especially large sub station.
Thanks.
The newly created ( 1 September 2008) article Electricity Substations should be merged into this article. It contains some UK-specific topics that are missing from this article. Truthanado ( talk) 00:23, 1 September 2008 (UTC)
How common is it in North America to name substations in honor of engineers and other people. Please expand this section! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.46.242.247 ( talk) 16:47, 22 January 2010 (UTC)
It's more common to name substations after the area they are located in. However, it is up to the individual company what the station is named after though. 173.219.132.98 ( talk) 03:35, 3 September 2012 (UTC)

There are two distinct ground potential rise hazard issues:
Present wording misleadingly mixes up the two issues.
There are huge safety issues associated with substations including in terms of arc flashing hazard.
The section 'Stations with change of current type' is awkward at best. How about, using more mainsteam Power Electronics parlance, 'Converter Substation' instead? Which might lead to mention of term FACT, etc..
Any self-respecting article should include at least one reference to each of the following organizations:
Would be nice to have at least one mention of the term 'SF6'.
What about differentiating low profile from high profile substation?
What about History section including in terms of evolution from DC into AC?
No mention of the term 'outage'?
96.52.198.210 ( talk) 07:39, 16 February 2012 (UTC)In regard to step, touch potential hazard, etc. much better for article to have citation to IEEE Standard 80 “IEEE Guide for Safety in AC Substation Grounding” instead of to IEEE Green Book.
Cblambert ( talk) 18:05, 16 February 2012 (UTC)There is also 'Indoor and Outdoor Substations - Overview' presentation on Slideshare at http://slidesha.re/yQDsjD that points to eventual LinkedIn link. Excellent material.
