Electrical Substations for Pipeline Pump and Compressor Stations

The paper goes systematically through the problem of load selection, negotiating load supply details with the electric utility, electrical supply contract completion, and the design specification, construction, and maintenance of electrical substation facilities as applied to pipeline pump and compressor station. The ``simple' type of substation is discussed, although component specifications and selection normally are the same regardless of substation complexity. An up-to-date list of applicable United States and Canadian Standards as well as a detailed list of required tests to be carried out on individual components are included in the Appendix.
