Answer for USA, Canada and countries running a 60 Hertz supply service.Sub stations have a variety of voltages depending on what systems they are connected to. At the sub station, the transmission voltage (might be 250,000 volts) is reduced to distribution voltage (might be 14,000 volts). The 14,000 volts is distributed through out the community and then the voltage is further reduces by pole Transformers to a voltage (120/240 volts) that can be used by homes.

How electricity reaches your home?

Power is generated at the power plant. It is then sent to a step up substation where the voltage is stepped up to several hundred thousands of volts to reduce amperage and keep the power lines from melting, then closer to your home it goes to a step down substation where the voltage is reduced and amperage is increased again. these are the power lines most commonly seen, then it goes to the transformer outside your house on the light pole where the voltage is greatly reduced yet again and turned into single phase 240 volts, it then goes from the transformer to the electric meter on your home, from there it goes into a breaker box and can be used as 240 volts or split into 110 volts depending on its application.

What is tertiary bus in substation?

Many substation transformers have three windings - the primary, secondary, and tertiary. The tertiary bus is the bus connected to the tertiary of the transformer. this is often used as station power for the substation, since the tertiary is very often a distribution level voltage (2 - 15kV).
