Electrical Substations

Compact Substations refer to a single housing that typically includes a high voltage switch or breaker, transformer, and low voltage protection or distribution equipment. Compact substationscan also be categorized as unitized substations, solar “PV Bo><” substations, and to some degree padmounted transformers. They are all designed to reduce space requirements, avoid field assembly of critical components and reduce handling costs in the field.

Typical compact substation (CSS) designs are used for applications where the unit is located in public areas since the integrity of the enclosure is considered tamperproof.

Standard features include

• Completely factory assembled and tested
• Compact designs to reduce space
• Selection of HV and LV equipment to meet customer requirements

Unitized substations are designed to provide a complete substation in one enclosure. HPS can incorporate HV and LV equipment on both sides of the transformer to meet system requirements. Enclosures are designed to provide protection against environmental elements and provide protection from outside contact.

Each substation can be designed with specific components required for your application requirements.

Standard features include

• Highly engineered solution to meet application requirements
• Factory built and ready for network solution
• Suitable for adverse weather and temperatures
• In accordance with IEC 62271
