Box-Type Substations & E-Houses

European & American type package substations, compact substations and prefabricated substation modules from 10kV to 35kV.

Overview

A box-type (package) substation puts the HV switchgear, transformer and LV distribution board together in one factory-assembled enclosure. It arrives on site ready to cable up — cutting civil works, installation time and land use compared with a conventional brick-built substation.

We build the whole package in-house: enclosure, HV ring main unit or switch-fuse unit, transformer and LV board. You get one drawing set, one test report and one shipment.

  • 10 kV, 20 kV and 35 kV versions
  • Transformer capacity 50–2500 kVA (single or double transformer)
  • European type, American pad-mounted and compact layouts
  • Steel, stainless steel or GRP enclosure, IP33–IP54
  • Optional lighting, ventilation, heating, dehumidifier and remote monitoring
Delivery format: complete, factory-tested and pre-wired, shipped as one or more units.

On-site work reduced to: foundation, positioning, HV cable termination, LV cable connection and commissioning checks.

YBW-12 European Type Box Substation

Three-compartment layout — HV room, transformer room and LV room — with a walk-in or non-walk-in option and metal-clad partitions between rooms.

Dimensions depend on transformer size, compartment layout and walk-in requirement — tell us the capacity and site conditions and we will supply a layout drawing.

Other Substation Formats

Different sites need different packages — the electrical core stays the same.

MB American Type Pad-Mounted

A single sealed tank combining HV switch, transformer and LV panel, mounted on a concrete pad. Compact footprint, cable entry from below, ideal for residential areas, parks and streetscapes.

  • 50–1000 kVA
  • 10 kV / 0.4 kV
  • HV: load break switch + fuse or elbow connector

ZB / ZBW Compact Substation

Minimal two-compartment layout where floor space is tight — HV switch and transformer share one room with a barrier, LV board in the second. Lower cost, smaller footprint.

  • 100–1250 kVA
  • 10–35 kV
  • Non-walk-in, front-access design

Prefabricated Substation / E-House

Container-style modules with multiple rooms for larger projects: HV switchgear room, transformer room, LV room, control room and battery room, fully wired and tested before shipment.

  • Multiple transformers per house
  • Walk-in, HVAC, fire detection
  • Designed to site seismic & wind loads
