substation diameter is the distance across the substation from one side to the other. Hope that works for you.

Substation bay is when you leave a Beagle dog inside the fence of the substation and they sit there barking and baying all night.

Actually substation bay is probably a cabinet where the controls for a particular tie line, transformer, cap bank, etc. resides.

Substations are rectangular, usually with a big fence with razor wire on top all around

Substation bays are smaller that the whole substation and may be open on one end.

Try a search engine.

I am confused by your posts regarding substation design and construction. What is your job role exactly?

I could understand if you are just involved in procurement but why can't your own substation design Engineers and consultants answer these for you?

Invitation declined, on the basis of insufficient information.

How it is possible to get a reasonable answer to a one-sentence blog post remains a mystery.

You would do well to heed your own advice:

CAN ANY BODY TELL THIS?

HOW MANY GEARS IN A SWITCH GEARS?

To which you replied:

"don't sent idiotic question"

Again, you would do well to heed your own advice.

'Bay' is a general term and refers to a feeder or a CB coupled with associated Disconnecting switches in a substation.

'Diameter' typically refers to the combination of two Main bays for individual feeders and associated Tie bay in a substation with breaker-and-half configuration.

Please ask a logical question. Don't as how hot is the hot water? No one can understand your question.
