Steel Structures
T-STAC can supply steel structures of all sizes and material standards to accommodate for the special needs of each unique substation.
Switchyard Structure: Steel gantries or lattice towers are commonly used to support various electrical equipment, such as circuit breakers, disconnect switches, and instrument transformers, in the switchyard. These structures are designed to provide the necessary clearances and ensure the safe operation of the equipment.
Bus Supports and Structures: Bus supports are steel structures that hold and support busbars, which are conductive bars used for carrying electrical currents within the substation. These structures must be robust and securely anchored to withstand the forces generated during short circuits or other electrical faults.
Lightning Protection Structures
T-STAC provides steel lightning protection structures with grounding systems.
Lightning protection structures in substations play a crucial role in safeguarding critical electrical equipment from the damaging effects of lightning strikes. Strategically placed lightning masts or rods intercept and channel lightning currents safely to the ground through steel down conductors, preventing potential damage to transformers, switchgear, and other sensitive components.
