1. Reminders about MV public distribution networks
1.1 Preamble
Primary substations are defined as extra-high or high voltage/medium voltage (HV/MV) substations, also known as source substations in France, and secondary substations as medium voltage/low voltage MV/LV substations.
In this text, the "medium-voltage public distribution network" includes, from the point of view of the MV protection plan :
(T)HV/MV transformers and MV equipment on primary substations ;
MV cables and lines;
secondary substations to supply industrial or residential customers.
