a police substation
In this system all power is taken from the public grid and rectified in substations.
The company owns and maintains 12 hydroelectric power plants, two thermal power plants and 49 substations.
Countering the cost advantages of electric traction are the cost disadvantages of electrification: primarily the costs of the catenary and substations (including maintenance costs).
From substations, power is sent to users over a distribution network.
The larger substations also have a small equipment and maintenance building to house any control equipment or secondary transformers for generating the signal power.
Infrastructure involves substations and transformer stations, power lines and electrical cable.
There are 15 additional substations located throughout the county.
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.
