The document provides information about various components and aspects of electrical substations:
1) Stones are used in substations to drain oil from transformers if leaks occur and to prevent weed growth. Devices like synchronous condensers and reactors are used to improve power factor.
2) Minimum phase to phase clearances for 400kV conductors and common components like CVTs, wave traps, and arrestors are identified. Reactors are used to limit short circuit current.
3) Ring main distribution systems are generally used for distribution. Earthing conductivity is affected by various soil factors and emulsifier protection relates to multiple protections like grounding and fire.
