What is a Conventional Substation? 
The Conventional Substation is a set of electrical equipment and systems whose purpose is to adjust different voltage and current levels, including, in addition to the transformer, all the necessary elements for the switching, protection and control of the power set, enabling the safe power distribution for transmission lines and systems.

Step-down Substations
Located close to load centers, they are intended to reduce the voltage levels, adjusting them to the needs of each specific consumer group.

Distribution Substations 
They may belong to either the utility company or large consumers.  They receive electric energy from transmission or subtransmission systems, lowering the voltage to proper levels for direct use of consumers.

Switching Substations
They interconnect circuits with the same voltage levels, enabling their multiplication and flexibility in the operation procedures of transmission and subtransmission lines.

Step-up Substations
​ Located in the output of generating units, they are intended to raise the voltage up to transmission and subtransmission levels, creating proper conditions for the flux of electric energy to the larger consumer centers.
