Product Characteristics

  • Fully insulated and fully sealed, requiring minimal maintenance and providing a high level of operational safety.
  • Compact design, with a volume of only one-third to one-fifth that of a conventional European-style transformer of the same capacity, resulting in a lower overall height.
  • A separate-compartment design can be adopted to prevent contamination of the transformer oil.
  • The high-voltage side uses dual fuses to provide full-range protection, significantly reducing costs.
  • It is suitable for both ring-main and terminal applications. The cable connector can be connected and disconnected under a load current of up to 200 A.
  • The enclosure is constructed with double-layer honeycomb composite panels, providing thermal insulation and effective heat dissipation.
  • An electronic phase-loss protection device is installed on the low-voltage side. In the event of an abnormal voltage condition, it can quickly disconnect the main incoming switch to protect the system.
  • The high-voltage side can be equipped with motor-operated oil-immersed load switches or SF₆ load switches, providing a foundation for distribution network automation.
  • Equipped with an oil-immersed S9 series transformer or a higher-performance S11 series transformer.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Prefabricated Distribution Substation?

A Prefabricated Distribution Substation is a factory-assembled power distribution solution that integrates a transformer, medium voltage switchgear, low voltage switchgear, protection equipment, control systems, and auxiliary components into a compact prefabricated enclosure.

It is designed to simplify transportation, installation, commissioning, and operation, making it suitable for utility power distribution, industrial plants, commercial buildings, solar power plants, wind farms, data centers, mining projects, and infrastructure applications.

What is the difference between a Prefabricated Substation and a conventional substation?

A conventional substation generally requires more equipment installation and construction work at the project site.

A prefabricated substation is largely assembled and tested in the factory before delivery. This can reduce on-site construction and wiring work, shorten installation time, simplify project coordination, and improve manufacturing quality control.

It is particularly useful for projects where space, installation time, transportation, or construction conditions are limited.
