ABB - Technical guide - The MV/LV transformer substations

The subject of this Technical Guide is MV/LV substations; in accordance with the reference standard, the discussion will be limited to substations with installed power limited to 2000 kVA or two 1000 kVA MV/LV transformers.

The purpose of this guide is to give an overview of the guidelines and requirements specified by current regulations for the design and construction of substations in order to guide the designer and the user to the correct system
choices.

The document will only touch on a few topics such as the thee sizing of the earthing system and the building aspects, for further details on which you are referred to the specific regulations.

Lastly, the document does not deal with issues related to active Users, in other words those that produce alternating current electricity with parallel operation (even temporary) with the network.
