 SINGLE BUS BAR SCHEME
 Advantage –Lowest cost
 Disadvantage:
• Maintenance without
interruption of supply is not
possible.
BUS
• Sub station can not be ISOLATOR
extended without completely
de-energizing the sub station BREAKER
• Can be used only where loads CURRENT TRANSFORMER
can be interrupted or have
other supply arrangements.

DOUBLE BUS BAR WITH SINGLE BREAKER PER CIRCUIT

 Advantages:
 Each load may be fed from either bus.
 Operational flexibility may be increased by grouping the incoming
and out going feeders in separate groups.
 Either bus bar can be taken out for maintenance.
 Adopted where load and continuity justify additional cost.
 Major disadvantage:
 Breaker can not be taken out for maintenance without interrupting
supply to the concerned circuit.

RING BUS OR MESH SCHEME
 There are the same number of circuits as there are breakers.
 During normal operation, all breakers are closed. For a circuit fault,
two breakers are tripped, and in the event one of the breaker fails to
operate to clear the fault, an additional circuit will be tripped by
operation of breaker- failure back up relays.
 During breaker maintenance, the ring is broken, but all lines remain
in service.
 The ring bus scheme is economical in cost, has good reliability, is
safe for operation, is flexible, and is normally considered suitable for
important sub stations up to a limit of five circuits.

• This arrangement provides three circuit breakers for every two

circuits. It gives high security against loss of supply but higher cost is
involved. Hence this is provided for important 400/220 KV Sub
Stations.
