 PREFACE
The country’s transmission perspective plan for Tenth & Eleventh Plan
focuses on the creation of the National Grid so that present Generation
capacity as well as future addition are optimally utilized. For this purpose,
the massive transmission system comprising of several EHV substations
and transmission lines is being planned in the years ahead. Keeping this
in view, all out efforts are required to be made by the planners, designers/
engineers in the country to ensure that these substations perform in the
best possible manner with minimum down time. Beside this aspect, the
economic considerations and parameters relating to the safety of the working personnel have
to be ensured. To achieve this goal, the latest technological developments/ requirements
have to be kept in view while designing these vital installations/ substations.

One of the objective of existence of Central Board of Irrigation & Power is to work as
a platform for the experts in the field to prepare vital technical publications in Power &
Water Resources sectors for reference of practicing engineers and other users.

The First Manual on Substation Layout was published by the CBI&P in the year 1967. The
publication was revised four times during the period 1967 - 1996. Since last edition was
published about a decade back, a feed back was received that this publication is required to
be comprehensively reviewed and revised taking in to consideration the developments in
the technologies on the sub station equipment and utilizing experience of the professional
engineers involved in planning, design, development, operation and maintenance of the
EHV sub stations.

Accordingly a committee of experts from state utilities and PSU’s was constituted under the
chairmanship of Shri S.C. Misra, the then Director (Projects) POWERGRID for preparation
of this revised “Manual on Substation Layout”.

In this publication, a serious attempt has been made to cover the basic requirements
and illustrations containing typical layout for various bus-bar systems beside brief
discussion on the various components of auxiliary facilities required for a modern
EHV substation including other aspects such as minimum required clearances with
respect to safety, inspection and maintenance of the substation.

This manual is out come of ceaseless efforts made during last three years by all members
of the expert group. The Central Board of Irrigation & Power wishes to acknowledge its
grateful thanks to the authors of this manual for their valuable contribution. I acknowledge
with thanks the tremendous contribution made by late Shri A.K. Kapur, Retd. Executive
Director (POWERGRID) beside the contribution by other members of the Expert group
representing CEA, NHPC, A.P. TRANSCO., GEB, BBMB, RRVPNL, KPTCL, WBSEB,
MSEB, PSEB, TNEB, BHEL, ALSTOM & KEC in finalizing the manual. Special thanks
