DESIGN GUIDE FOR RURAL SUBSTATIONS: RUS

This bulletin provides design guidance for the increasing numbers of substations necessary to meet the increasing electrical demands in areas served by Rural Utilities Service borrowers (here and after called cooperatives). This guide bulletin is intended for the benefit of cooperatives, their consulting and staff engineers, and others interested in rural substation design and construction concerns and considerations.
Substations should be designed, constructed, and operated to meet customers’ needs at the lowest possible cost commensurate with the quality of service desired. The typical system may include substations for voltage transformation, sectionalizing, distribution, and metering a number of times between generation and utilization.
