In the reconstruction and expansion of modern urban power grids, to optimize the power supply layout, it is required that high - voltage directly enters urban areas, medium - voltage penetrates deep into load centers to shorten the low - voltage power supply radius, and underground cable laying is mostly adopted for urban main roads. Electrical equipment needs to meet the requirements of intelligence, miniaturization, high reliability and aesthetics. The compact substation is widely used in urba

I. Design Principles of Pad-mounted TransformersWith the upgrading of power infrastructure, pad-mounted transformers are widely used in various scenarios due to their light weight, small size, low loss, low noise and high reliability. Studies show that when the power supply voltage is increased from 380V to 10kV, line loss is reduced by 60%, and copper consumption and investment are each reduced by 52%, with remarkable economic and social benefits. As a product of modern economic and social deve

In recent years, driven by policies and the enabling environment, the domestic new energy industry has achieved rapid development. A large number of photovoltaic (PV) projects have been introduced into the power market, and high-altitude PV projects are among them. If prefabricated cabin substations can be utilized scientifically and rationally, high-altitude PV projects can feature short construction cycles, quick commissioning, and relatively low investment levels. This is of great significanc

The economic development demands higher efficiency in substation construction, giving rise to prefabricated cabin substation technology. With modular design, equipment wiring, commissioning, and prefabrication are completed in factories, requiring only "building-block" assembly on-site. Take the 10kV prefabricated high-voltage room as an example: equipment and cabin are installed in the factory, with on-site work limited to busbar and cabin assembly. The main transformer incoming line connects v

With the development of the national economy and society, the requirements for the quality and craftsmanship of power grid projects have become increasingly stringent. The need to improve the construction progress and quality of substations has created opportunities for the promotion of prefabricated cabin - type intelligent substations. The traditional on - site wiring and commissioning of secondary substation equipment involve a large amount of work. Moreover, on - site construction has to wai

Against the backdrop of profound changes in the global energy landscape and the booming development of the new energy industry, the construction mode of traditional substations struggles to meet the rapid deployment needs of new energy projects. The modular intelligent prefabricated cabin substation, leveraging its innovative advantages, has become a key direction for optimizing the new energy power system. In - depth exploration of its technical principles, industry adaptability, and applicatio

Under global climate diversity, alpine power construction faces technical and environmental challenges. Extreme climates, complex geology, and long - term low winter temperatures, along with ice, snow, and storms, strain electrical equipment stability and power facility construction (schedule, cost, maintenance). Traditional on - site substations, with long construction and poor adaptability, can’t meet alpine regions’ fast, stable power needs.Prefabricated cabin substations,

Compact substation boxes, with advantages like safe operation, high reliability, and easy maintenance, are used in urban grid construction/renovation. Structurally divided into American - style (high - cost, noisy, low - efficiency, gradually phased out) and European - style (large - sized but more advantages, still popular).To address their pros/cons, ring - network prefabricated ones were developed.I. Basic Materials for Prefabricated Compact Substation BoxesMaterials need hardness, strength,

With the accelerated automation of power equipment, various medium-voltage switchgear have emerged in the market. Classified by insulation media, they are mainly divided into air-insulated, SF₆ gas-insulated and solid-insulated types, each with its own advantages and disadvantages: solid insulation offers good performance but poor environmental friendliness, SF₆ features excellent arc extinguishing capability but is a greenhouse gas, and air insulation has high cost-performance but larger volume

1. Statistics on Common Faults of Medium-Voltage Switchgear in the Early Operation StageAs project participants, we found during the early operation of a new metro line: 21 sets of power supply equipment were put into use, with a total of 266 accident phenomena in the first year. Among them, 77 faults occurred in medium-voltage switchgear, accounting for 28.9%—significantly higher than faults in other equipment. Statistical analysis shows that major fault types include: protection devi
