What are the uses of prefabricated substations?

Prefabricated substations, also known as prefabricatedations, outdoor complete set of substations, prefabricated substations, and combined substations, are a type of factory-built, compact distribution equipment that integrates high- switchgear, low-voltage distribution devices, and distribution transformers into a single unit according to a special wiring method. They combine the functions of high-voltage input, low- distribution, and transformer voltage reduction, and then install them in a steel structure box, operating in a fully enclosed manner.

Prefabricated transformer boxes have many advantages, such as factory prefabrication, small size, small footprint, advanced technology, and reliable safety. They have a high degree of automation, which is conducive to improving the of power supply. They are also relatively easy to install and have strong adaptability to the environment.

Prefabricated substations, as complete and independent substations, can the functions of power transformation, distribution, protection, control, and measurement for power supply and power consumption objects. They are mainly used for power transformation, protection, and control of wind, solar power, and other power generation systems; power transformation, protection, and control of new energy vehicle charging stations; and power transformation, protection, and control of terminal power consumption such as industrial enterprises and infrastructure. The location of prefabricated substations is also flexible, and they can be installed next to sidewalks, greening areas, industrial parks, sites, etc., or can be made into mobile substations.

Different prefabricated transformers also have different functions and applicable places. European transformers are widely used in some places with high equipment requirements, but American prefabricated transformers are widely used in urban distribution networks or any place with low land requirements due to their simplicity and size.
