Onsite-substations

johnwicklover

Hi,

Just wondering for onsite-substations are they property of the DNO or the site owner? 

How would  the supplies be worked out? For example, will the DNO provide a supply point coming out of the substation with a fuse cut-out and meter ready to be connected to a panel board etc?

Thanks.

Regards,

J

    my place of work thought that the DNO owned the transformer on site, however, when i started, i did some investigation work and found that we did indeed own it, and then immediately had to appoint an HV qualified company, our last inspection revealed a major potential problem with it and we are replacing it at Christmas, this has given us the opportunity of reducing the size of the transformer from 1600KVA to 1MVA, and putting in an amorphous core super low loss one, which should see our bills drop through the floor, as the landlord also wants to put PV on the roof!
