Characteristics of European-Style Box-Type Substation
The European-style box-type substation is a prefabricated substation that separates high-voltage switchgear, transformers, and low-voltage distribution devices into independent compartments based on their functions. It is widely used in residential communities, commercial centers, industrial and mining enterprises, and new energy power generation. The main features are as follows:
1. Independent Structure with a Rational Layout
· The three-compartment structure consists of a high-voltage chamber, transformer chamber, and low-voltage chamber, enhancing safety and maintainability.
· The transformer chamber has independent ventilation and heat dissipation, facilitating maintenance and transformer replacement, making it suitable for long-term operation.
2. Safe and Reliable Operation
· Equipped with comprehensive protection functions, including high- and low-voltage switchgear protection, short-circuit protection, overload protection, and grounding protection, ensuring reliable power supply.
· Fully enclosed structure prevents external environmental influences, prolonging equipment lifespan and ensuring operational reliability.
3. Adaptability to Harsh Environments
· Protection rating of IP54 or higher, offering dustproof, waterproof, and corrosion-resistant capabilities, making it suitable for coastal, high-temperature, and extreme cold environments.
· Optional anti-condensation and anti-salt mist designs, making it ideal for humid, rainy, and dusty environments such as islands, ports, and mining areas.
4. Easy Maintenance and Long Service Life
· Independent compartment maintenance allows repairs without shutting down the entire system, improving operational efficiency.
· Transformers can be dry-type or oil-immersed, with dry-type transformers requiring no maintenance, while oil-immersed transformers have a longer service life, allowing flexible selection based on needs.
Conclusion
The European-style box-type substation is widely used in urban power distribution, industrial applications, and new energy sectors due to its independent compartments, high reliability, low energy loss, intelligent features, and easy maintenance. Its separated compartment design makes it particularly suitable for high-power supply scenarios, especially in high-load and complex environmental conditions, ensuring excellent safety and stability.
