An electric substation is an integral part of the electricity grid, responsible for transforming electricity from high voltage to a lower voltage suitable for distribution to consumers. Substations are also used to switch electricity between different parts of the grid, and to protect the grid from faults. Substations are typically located near power plants, and are connected to the grid via transmission lines. Substations are typically owned and operated by utilities, but can also be owned by independent power producers or other entities. Substation components include transformers, circuit breakers, disconnect switches, and other equipment. Some companies in the electric substation market include ABB, Siemens, Schneider Electric, Eaton, and General Electric. Show Less Read more
