Substasjon
Explanation:
In the field of electrical power distribution, a substation (substasjon på norsk) is a place where the high voltage electricity distributed by the power grid is converted to the lower voltage required by the consumer. Each substation supplies the consumers in the area around it. The term utility can mean one of two things, depending on the context. Utility can mean the service (electricity) supply company or can mean that it is a large substation that services a major consumer such as a city or large factory.Depending on the context, you can decide on how best to translate the word utility. Hope this helps.

stasjon for hjelpesystemer


Explanation:
'switchboard' er egentlig "fordelingstavle", men slik originalteksten er utformet kan du skrive f.eks.:

"Et hovedrom for lavspentfordeling vil bli plassert ved siden av understasjonen for hjelpesystemer"
eller
"Et rom for lavspent hovedfordeligstavle vil bli plassert..."
(Hjelpesystemene kan være overvåkning, fjernstyring o.l.)

Strengt tatt er det ikke noe som kalles \"stasjon for hjelpesystemer\". Derimot finnes \"understasjon for hjelpesystemer\" som vil være benevnelsen på en ansamling utstyr, plassert i et eget rom eller i et rom som også inneholder annet utstyr, som kommuniserer med en driftssentral.
