Hi guys a couple of weeks ago I was looking on Google maps to try to work out a future planned trip for when lockdown is done anyhow I went onto satellite view which is basically an areal view of wherever your looking at. Part of my search I saw an areal view of our local grid substation at chickerell on the foto there was what looked like very large cotton reels in the sub I was curious what they could be I hink they are very large chokes for voltage balancing there are also some square objects right next to them which I assume are capacitors not sure what voltage they run at but looks like 230/400 Kv does this sound about right? Incidentally I sorted out my rout for my future trip
Hi guys hope you don't mind me reviving this thread but I've done a bit of research and I've found out the cotton reels are reactors the tall structures are capacitor banks and the smaller square devices are harmonic filters so there now we know
