Abstract :
In an ever more competitive economy, energy suppliers have to pay more and more attention to optimising investments. Advances in some medium voltage power network components are such that it is now possible to simplify installation diagrams, which has significant economic repercussions. With this in mind, this paper, based on the recent appearance of a new technical level of distribution transformers, presents interesting changes in the field of MV/LV substations, aiming to reduce the cost of connection to the MV network
