0 a place that allows electricity to go from one part of the electricity production system to another
1 a division of an organization that works under the general control of a larger office:
a police substation
The improved security measures should be directed at substations which are at greatest risk of trespass or vandalism.
In rural areas the substations are not cordoned off.
The electricity boards are making large profits and should be able to earmark funds for the purpose of safeguarding substations.
There are more than 419,000 substations of all descriptions in the country.
Accidents in substations to members of the general public, which have resulted in fatality have amounted to six in the past 10 years.
The most important case where that provision is needed concerns substations within the boundary of a power station site.
I believe the total staff in railway generating stations and substations is about 2,000 men.
One of the substations is totally encased and there is no possible access to it unless the doors are open, but there is easy access to the others.
