Substations Turnkey Compact Substations up to 35 kV.

We offer wide range of compact turnkey substations. No costs for on site assembly and minimal civil engineering. The small profile of the substation makes it easy to install discretely in sensitive locations. It guarantees high level of safety.

MV Compartment

The MV compartment can be equipped with wide varieties of MV switchgear. For voltages up to 35kV, the basic configuration is a SF6 insulated RMU which consist of two load break switches and one switch-fuse combination for transformer protection, all contained in a single sealed tank.

Transformer

Transformer compartment is specially designed to provide the transformer with adequate airflow cooling through well sized openings. The compartment is provided with a pressure relief system integrated in the ceiling/roof. As an option, a floor mesh can be provided to prevent entry of small animals and other foreign objects, assuring in the meanwhile continuous airflow and circulation. Oil-immersed or dry type transformers can be accommodated on this compartment.

Low Voltage Section

The compartment contains the Low Voltage Distribution Board (LVDB), which is fed from the secondary side of the transformer. The LVDB can be designed in different arrangements and configurations in order to suit any specific application. Inside the panel can be installed Air circuit breakers (ACB’s), Moulded case circuit breakers (MCCB’s), LV Fuse switches Instrumentation and metering

Ventilation

Natural ventilation is provided through ventilation for air intake at the bottom of the walls. The air is extracted through ventilation openings at the top of the walls, and natural air circulation ensures sufficient cooling to the distribution transformer. The ventilation system is classified and type-tested in accordance with temperature class K20. Temperature class K10 can be achieved by increasing the ventilation area for the transformer room.

Ground System

The substation forms a complete metallic bolted structure. Each compartment is provided with grounding busbars. Bonding and interconnection of the grounding buses are made of 70mm2 bare stranded copper conductors. The ring main unit (RMU) and the low voltage panel (LVDB) are provided with grounding bus that can be connected to the grounding system at site.

Standards Reference

The compact substation is designed and type-tested in accordance with EN 61330, which covers the following test programs:

• Test to verify the insulation level of prefabricated substation
• Test to prove the temperature rise of the main components contained in a prefabricated substation
• Test to prove the capability of the earthing circuits to be subjected to rated peak and rated short-time withstand current
• Functional test to prove satisfactory operation of the assembly
• Test to verify the degree of protection
• Test to verify the withstand of the enclosure of the prefabricated substation against mechanical stress
• Additional type test in accordance with EN 61330 and PHELA Recommendation n.7 05/2004
• Test to assess the effects of arcing due to internal fault

Main Features:

• The unit is typically divided into three rooms for the medium voltage switchgear, low voltage switchboard and distribution transformer
• The transformer is located in the middle of the substation while the MV and LV compartments are located at both ends of the substation adjacent to the corresponding bushings of the transformer
• The substation may be operated from the outside (Non Walk-in Accessibility Type B)
• The electrical equipment is cooled by natural ventilation through openings in the substation
• The unit is mainly made of corrosion resistant 2mm AlZn-coated steel sheet. The aluminium and the zinc alloy coating provide protection against corrosion due to harsh environment conditions. In addition, 3mm galvanized steel sheets are used to make the support in the base frame (oil collection pit) stronger.
• The oil collection pit, which can take 100% of the transformer’s oil volume, is integrated into the substation base frame
• Enclosure, with closed door is IP43. Doors can be fitted with gaskets in order to have degree of protection IP54
• Last finish coat is a powder paint of polymer resin base
