Substation IPS

Here are some possibilities (from AcronymFinder). Several might apply.

Thanks very much Tornado, but i'm asking for the IPS that we are using most commonly in substation installation.

malec.

Take Tornado's link in #1↑, find the candidates, and cross out all thse that do not apply, then.

Iron pipe size....

Thank you so much SolarEagle.

God bless!

No. Intermediate Pumping Station!

IPS Tubes are used for Sub-Station buses. The IPS Tube fittings are designed to see that sharp edges are avoided so that Corona activity is minimized.

International Pipe Standard

Ingress Protection Standard possibly?

Your guess is as good as ours based on the little information you have given - it could be any number of acronyms, all of which could relate directly to substations.

Can you provide more information?

Thanks very much. I think this is most nearest when we talking about power substation.

Thanks, for your answer.

Your acknowledgement is wrong! In outdoor sub-stations, they generally use a tubular aluminium bus. The sizes of this hollow tubular Aluminium Bus bars are covered in a standard called the International Pipe Standard. For example, in a 66kV Switchyard, we may use a 4" IPS Aluminium Bus, which means that we are going to use a 4" Aluminium bus, whose specifications are elaborated in the International Pipe Standard or IPS.

Ingress Protection, is generally specified only as IP and not as IPS and it will have significance in Indoor Sub-stations, for example, in Switchboards.

okay, thanks very much for your correction and for this information.

OK IM SORRY, YOUR ANSWER IS CORRECT AND JUSTIFIABLE. THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THIS INFO AND FOR YOUR EXPLANATION.

It is for 'Instant Power Supply'. IPS is similar to UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply). The major difference between UPS and IPS is that UPS has zero switching time (i.e. no interruption of power) while IPS has longer switching time (i.e. momentary interruption of power).
