Box-type substations
Medium voltage switchgear

The box-type substation is a prefabricated special equipment that integrates power transformation equipment and power distribution systems, featuring a compact structure and mobility. It has a wide range of applications in multiple fields, as detailed below:

Main Application Areas

  1. Urban Rail Transit and Large Buildings:
    • Due to its compact structure and easy installation, the box-type substation is ideal for use in the power supply and distribution systems of urban rail transit stations, large buildings such as shopping malls, hospitals, schools, and other venues.
  2. Petroleum Mining and Large Industrial and Mining Enterprises:
    • In industries such as petroleum mining, factories, mines, and others, box-type substations can meet the demands of complex terrains and high power supply requirements, providing stable and reliable power supply.
  3. Construction Sites and Temporary Power Use:
    • Construction sites often require temporary power, and the mobility and rapid installation features of box-type substations make them an ideal choice. They can also be used for temporary event venues such as cultural activities and exhibitions for power supply.
  4. Urban Power Supply and Grid Renovation:
    • During urban modernization and grid renovation processes, box-type substations are widely used in residential areas, urban public transformers, and other civilian power system areas due to their miniaturization, intelligence, and strong reliability. They are also used in bustling cities and construction power sources.
  5. Renewable Energy Generation:
    • With the development of renewable energy, box-type substations are increasingly used in photovoltaic, wind, and other renewable energy generation projects, providing stable and reliable power conversion and distribution for these projects.

Specific Application Scenarios

  1. Streetlight Power Distribution:
    • Box-type substations can be used for power control and distribution of streetlights and related equipment, particularly in large and medium-sized cities where such power demands are frequent, allowing the flexibility of box-type substations to be fully utilized.
  2. Residential Area and Park Power Distribution:
    • In residential areas, parks, and other venues, box-type substations provide aesthetically pleasing and space-saving solutions to meet the power supply needs of these places.
  3. Internal Power Use within Enterprises:
      • In some situations, internal power demands within enterprises are insufficient or the grid voltage is unstable, such as in underground mines, airports, ports, etc. The use of box-type substations can meet the small power grid needs of these enterprises.

Advantages and Characteristics

  1. Compact Structure and Space-Saving:
    • Box-type substations are made of environmentally friendly materials and high-precision machinery, featuring a compact structure that significantly saves space.
  2. Easy Installation and Rapid Power Supply:
    • The assembly, installation, and disassembly operations of box-type substations are simple and can be adjusted and moved without affecting power supply, enabling rapid power supply.
  3. Strong Reliability and Adaptability:
    • The enclosure of box-type substations typically uses corrosion-resistant materials or heating and antifreeze devices to withstand various climatic conditions, ensuring the continuity of power supply. At the same time, their combination mode is flexible and can be freely combined according to actual conditions to meet the needs of safe operation.
  4. Simple Operation and High Degree of Automation:
    • Box-type substations have multiple monitoring functions and automated control systems, allowing operators to conveniently monitor system operation. They can also achieve unattended operation and remote monitoring functions.

In summary, box-type substations play an important role in power system construction and maintenance, meeting various power needs and providing stable and reliable power supply. With continuous technological advancements and expanding applications, box-type substations will play an even more significant role in the future.
