    303kV/7.2 kV station service transformer

    How to get auxiliary power for 500kV switchyard which does not have any transformer - just breakers and disconnects? Can we buy 300kV/7.2kV, ~300KVA single phase transformers? Any another ideas will be appreciated.

    insulator ESDD measurement in costal, desert and industrial areas?

    When you select insulator and/or bushing creepage distances in mm/kV, the major criteria is a pollution level, see IEEE 1313.2-1999, p.18. Should we apply the contamination level criteria based on IEEE 1313.2-1999, during selection of BIL and creep for substation insulators? Does any have any...
