Product Overview

An outdoor prefabricated substation combines multiple electrical systems into a single weather-resistant enclosure. Compared with traditional onsite-built substations, the prefabricated design allows:

Factory-controlled assembly
Reduced construction workload
Shorter installation period
Easier transportation and commissioning
Flexible configuration according to project requirements

The substation can be configured according to:

Voltage level (e.g., up to 35kV / 40.5kV class)
Transformer capacity
MV/LV switchgear requirements
Protection scheme
Environmental conditions
Installation method

Compliance and International Standards

Quality Assurance & Standards: Product design, manufacturing, and testing strictly comply with international standards, including IEC 62271-200, IEC 60076, and IEEE specifications. All units are accompanied by comprehensive routine factory test reports and optional type test certificates issued by accredited laboratories, ensuring seamless grid integration and full compliance with global EPC project requirements.
