Detailed content

I. Product Overview

A prefabricated substation (also known as a box-type substation or European-style box substation, commonly referred to as "European substation" or "Euro-substation") is a mobile, turnkey electrical distribution and transformation system pre-assembled in the factory. It consists of high- and low-voltage switchgear, transformers, and an enclosure, and is designed primarily to replace traditional, site-built substations, seamlessly delivering both substation and distribution functions.

Prefabricated substations can be used both outdoors and indoors, making them widely applicable in industrial parks, residential communities, commercial centers, public spaces, airports, ports, subway systems, hotels, schools, hospitals, as well as dynamic construction sites, mines, oil fields, and other settings. Depending on their specific applications, they can also be categorized into products such as prefabricated substations for urban municipal lighting, those used in rural-urban grid upgrades, factory power distribution systems, nuclear power plants, wind farms, highways, seaports and docks, and even airport facilities.

V. Product Features

1. Overall Structural Features  

  • Feature-rich and reliable

It can interrupt short-circuit and load currents, providing full-range current protection. High-voltage options include ring main networks (including dual power supplies), terminal configurations, and systems equipped with high-voltage metering—offering a variety of power supply solutions. Additionally, it features all the functionalities of conventional civil-engineering-type substations.

  • Low investment, minimal land use, and easy installation

Compact in structure, small in size, and requiring minimal floor space, it features an integrated multi-door design for convenient transportation, installation, operation, and maintenance. The overall European-style design primarily comes in three main configurations: the "目" (eye-shaped) integrated type, the "品" (character "pin") integrated type, and the split-type structure.

Saving money: Better than distribution transformers + The capital investment in the distribution room should be minimal;

Province-level: Small in size, occupying about the same space as a distribution transformer of comparable capacity. + The volume of the distribution room 1/3 Or even smaller;

Time-saving: Delivery can be arranged in less than a month, and on-site installation is simple—simply tighten the four mounting bolts and connect the incoming and outgoing cable lines.

  • Good security

Featuring a fully enclosed design, the product casing is grounded, and its outer surface contains no live components whatsoever. As a result, there’s no need for insulation clearance, reliably ensuring personal safety.

2. Component and Part Selection

  • Medium- and High-Voltage Equipment

a. Selection of Medium- and High-Voltage Switching Methods

Since circuit breakers primarily perform the functions of interrupting normal load currents and short-circuit currents, and they feature a high degree of automation, circuit breakers are therefore used as 800kVA User disconnection above the transformer is the preferred option.

End users of the power system, especially 10kV Small and Medium-Sized Capacity 630kVA The high-voltage switches used by the following customers frequently handle normal load currents, and in most cases, load switches combined with fuses replace the main circuit breakers. Specifically, the high-voltage load switch is responsible for interrupting normal load currents, while the fuse takes care of disconnecting short-circuit currents.

b. Cabinet Type Selection

Medium- and high-voltage switchgear can be selected based on the specific application environment. XGN Fixed-type circuit breaker cabinet, KYN Armored withdrawable switchgear, HXGN Vacuum (air-compression type) load switchgear, SF6 Fully insulated sulfur hexafluoride switchgear, XGN15 Sulfur Hexafluoride Load Switchgear.

  • Transformer

Available in various series of dry-type or oil-immersed transformers Device

  • Low-voltage equipment

Our company's European transformers typically use GGD Series of fixed low-voltage switchgear, which can also be provided in a withdrawable design depending on specific product requirements. GCK 、 GCS 、 GCL 、 MNS Cabinet. GGD Cabinet features:

a、 High maintainability , the cabinet base Based on component reliability and operability, low-voltage components are reasonably arranged for primarily front-access maintenance. Easily worn components such as low-voltage circuit breakers, isolating switches, fuses, and contactors are all positioned at the front of the cabinet, ensuring convenient access for inspection and upkeep. Meanwhile, highly reliable components like copper busbars and insulators—which require minimal maintenance—are placed at the rear of the cabinet and typically do not need regular inspection or servicing.

b. Small size: Generally, the design of O-type circuits is relatively simple, so the accompanying low-voltage equipment is designed as a single O-type unit. GGD When using dedicated cabinets, low-voltage electrical equipment can be arranged more efficiently, reducing the footprint of the low-voltage cabinet.

  • Shell Types

Our company selects the enclosure for our European-style transformers based on the operating environmental conditions. Our transformer enclosures include cold-rolled steel sheets with coating, stainless steel sheets with coating, color-zinc composite panels, and non-metallic enclosures, among others.
