Substation with power voltage transformer connected through circuit device to high or extra high voltage transmission line

Abstract

A substation connected to a high or extra-high voltage transmission line is disclosed. The substation includes a power line electrically connected to the transmission line. A circuit device is electrically connected by way of the line to receive the high or the extra-high voltage from the transmission line. The circuit device is responsive to a faulty condition that can arise during operation of the substation. A power voltage transformer is electrically connected to the circuit device to supply low voltage power directly transformed from the high or the extra high voltage received by the power voltage transformer from the circuit device. Example applications that can benefit from disclosed embodiments include applications for establishing a low voltage electrical power distribution in a rural or semi-rural area, such as may be used to power electric vehicle charging stations, sites involving telecommunication equipment (e.g., arrays of 5G antennas), or effective for village electrification.
