Compact & Efficient, Flexible Deployment: Modular Load Break Switch Solution Breaks Substation Space Bottlenecks

Facing increasing urban power demands and limited construction space, traditional substations are encountering severe space bottlenecks: difficulties in siting new sites, constrained space for retrofit projects, and challenges in equipment capacity expansion and functional upgrades. Particularly in urban center renovations, old station upgrades, and packaged substation applications, how to "work within an extremely tight space" to achieve rapid deployment and efficient expansion has become an industry pain point.

The Solution: Space-Optimized Modular Load Break Switch Solution

Core Value:​ Enables rapid deployment and flexible expansion with minimal space requirements, providing the optimum solution for space-constrained substation construction/retrofit.

Solution Highlights:

  1. Extreme Modular Architecture:
    • Thoroughly Decoupled Design:​ Core switch pole unit, operating mechanism, busbar connection module, fuse cartridge, and smart sensors (current/voltage) all form independent, standardized modules.
    • Flexible "Power Building Block" Combination:​ Rapidly assemble required functional units on-site based on project needs (e.g., RMU ring main units, feeder switches), significantly reducing customization time and cost.
  2. Highly Integrated Design:
    • Radically Compact Size:​ Utilizes a three-phase common enclosure or compact pole design, saving up to 40% space compared to traditional open designs.
    • Deeply Integrated Smart Units:​ Embeds current/voltage sensors, position indicators, status monitoring points within the switch pole unit or modules, eliminating redundant accessories and complex external wiring.
    • Compact Power Units:​ Employs high-efficiency permanent magnet or compact spring energy storage operating mechanisms, drastically reducing space requirements for control panels.
  3. Game-Changing Installation Efficiency:
    • Plug-and-Play:​ Factory-pre-assembled and pre-tested modules only require simple assembly and connection upon arrival on site, drastically shortening the construction cycle.
    • Simplified Connection:​ Standardized connectors and interface designs (e.g., plug-in bushings, quick-connect terminal blocks) improve on-site installation and wiring efficiency by 50%.
    • Reduced O&M Burden:​ Designed with a maintenance-free/low-maintenance philosophy, simplifying commissioning processes and reducing long-term operational burdens.
  4. Future-Ready Scalability:
    • Modular Framework:​ Pre-defines physical and electrical interfaces, supporting seamless future capacity expansion (e.g., adding bays) or functional upgrades (adding grounding switches, remote control modules, DTU feeder terminals).
    • Expansion or modification requires no large-scale demolition or rebuilding,​ maximizing cost and time savings.
  5. Exceptional Space Adaptability:
    • Specifically designed for challenging spaces,​ ideal for:
      • Underground cable substations/distribution chambers
      • Compact compartments of packaged substations
      • High-value retrofit points in dense urban cores
      • Space-constrained distribution rooms in commercial buildings and industrial parks
