BUS BAR SCHEMES
This is technically a single bus bar arrangement with an additional bus bar
called “Auxiliary bus” energized from main bus bars through a bus coupler
circuit, i.e., for ‘n’ number of circuits, it employs ‘n + 1’ circuit breakers.
Each circuit is connected to the main bus bar through a circuit breaker with
isolators on both sides and can be connected to the auxiliary bus bar
through an isolator. The additional provision of bus coupler circuit
(Auxiliary bus) facilitates taking out one circuit breaker at a time for
routine overhaul and maintenance without de – energizing the circuit
controlled by that breaker as that circuit then gets
energized through bus coupler breaker.
As in the case of single bus arrangement, this scheme also suffers from the
disadvantages that in the event of a fault on the main bus bar or the
associated isolator, the entire substation is lost. This bus arrangement has
been extensively used in 132 kV Sub Stations.
