Product Overview
A Compact Substation Transformer, also known as a Packaged Substation or Mini Substation, is a prefabricated electrical unit that combines a distribution transformer, medium-voltage switchgear, and low-voltage distribution board into one integrated enclosure. Designed for outdoor or indoor installation, it is widely used in urban networks, industrial parks, commercial complexes, and renewable energy systems where space, safety, and rapid deployment are key considerations.
These substations are typically rated up to 36 kV on the primary side and up to 2500 kVA in transformer capacity.
General Features
- Fully enclosed, weatherproof, and tamper-proof design
- Compact and modular construction for quick installation
- Factory-assembled and pre-tested before delivery
- Suitable for both radial and ring-type network configurations
- Designed for safe public use with internal arc protection
