- Pole Mounted Substation is an outdoor step-down distribution substation that is placed on an overhead pole.
- It is the cheapest, smallest and simplest substation. This type of substation does not have any building works.
- The transformer is mounted on an H-Type pole or Four Pole Structure.
- The electrical power supply comes into our house mostly from this pole-mounted substation.
Use of Pole Mounted Substation:
- Pole mounted substation is used for the low voltage power distribution.
- It generally supplies the electrical power supply to domestic consumers.
- It steps up the voltage from three-phase three-wire 11KV into three-phase four-wire 400V and single-phase 230V power supply.
- The main advantage of this substation is it provides output in both three-phases and single phases. So it can be used to provide power supply to both the single-phase and three-phase consumers.
