Isolator Q1 connects busbar 1, Q2 connects busbar 2 of the corresponding field to circuit breaker Q3. In the case of the coupling field, Q3 connects both isolators. In this type, all incoming and outgoing bays such as lines, transformers, and feeders are directly connected to a single bus. Advantages Due to its simple design, it is easy and convenient to operate. The choice between them affects cost, reliability, and how easy it is to maintain or expand the system. Compared to double busbar switchgear, single busbar switchgear is definitely easier to use, readily understood by operators, requires less space, and the total cost of installation is less (equipment, site procedures, maintenance, spares holding and space). Independently of the number of feeders supplied according to the topology of the system, no supply reserve exists for the outage of the transformer or of the busbar. The transformer can be loaded up to 100.
