Main characteristics to consider to determine the transformation substations:

  • Surface area of building or site
  • Power demand, (to be compared with standardized transformer power),
  • Load distribution

The preferred basic configuration comprises one single substation.Certain factors contribute to increasing the number of substations (>1):

  • A large surface area (> 25000m²),
  • The site configuration: several buildings,
  • Total power > 2500kVA,
  • Sensitivity to interruption: need for redundancy in the case of a fire.
