substation design using autocad

[bpp]

Iwant to do a project on substation design using auto cad. what are the aspects which i need to consider for such design and how can I implement that using auto cad.
The necessary details can be sent to me at bishwajyoti.dumdum@gmail.com

You might want to make your questions more specific.

Much will depend on how much actual Autocad experience you have. By "substation" I assumed you meant an electrical substation. Those are quite complex, and if you've never used Autocad before, such a project will be extremely difficult to complete.

I would like design a 230kV/33kV,100MVA electrical substation on a given piece of land.How can atleast design ittaking some basic consideration like it is having a main and transfer bus, there are three outgoing feeders. what would be clearances from ground, where to install the protective devices.The project will be just a first hand experience so only basic things Iwant to consider

If you were doing this for a utility, they would have told you about clearances and safety devices and so forth. My guess is it's a homework assignment, and we don't do those.

I would think the other way around. I know AutoCad well yet I'd have no idea how to actually design an electrical substation. Drafting it is easy, the design is the hard part.

Your design should be based upon the national electrical safety code. You have a copy don't you?

Well, what I meant by that is that if he doesn't know autocad, AND doesn't know anything about how a substation goes together, it's gonna be next to impossible to do. I got the impression this was a classroom design project and that the OP was neither drafter nor electrical engineer. If you don't know how to draw, and don't know anything about what you want to draw, that's a very steep hill to climb.

But you are correct...the design end of such a thing is enormous.

Are you a student?

If not, isn't there an electrical engineer at the company you work for that should be feeding you the design?
