Electrical Isolator in Substation: Types and Importance

An important component often overlooked in substations is ‘isolators’. An isolator in substations plays a significant role in ensuring the safety, efficiency, and reliability of the power system.

The complex and interconnected landscape of substations is where power generation, transmission, and distribution occur at a large scale. It isolates the electrical network from human contact to avoid accidents, regular system maintenance, and improve the system’s overall stability.

In this article, we will look deep into the world of isolators in substations, their types, and their importance in the system operation.
