The high-voltage side of a step-down transformer in a substation is normally connected to the high-voltage bus in the substation.

False

An abnormally high or low voltage could cause a circuit breaker to trip out and remove a line from service.

True

Converter stations are needed at each end of DC transmission lines to turn the DC back to AC.

True

If one transmission line fails, a substation should automatically switch over to another line in order to avoid power loss for the substation's customers.

True

The third level of substation class is the distribution/municipal/industrial type found near end users.

True

The three main parts of an electrical power system are transmission, distribution, and generation.
