What Is Compact Sub-Station?

Compact Substations are generally used in public areas like metro cities; construction sites to transmit high voltage power to low voltage. It is ideal for both indoor as well as outdoor usage. Moreover, to make it convenient it is mounted over wheels or a channel that facilitates ease in transportation. A compact substation is factory ready and therefore, it minimizes time as well cost of installation. Conversely, it is enclosed with MV switchgear, transformer & LV switch gears. It contains three distinct compartments each segregated with partitions to ensure safety. According to substation manufacturers India, This compact yet modular substation is the most feasible solution for developing as well as developed cities due to its inherent characteristics. It is also known as package or unitized substations.

Due to evolving technologyelectrical substation transformers have undergone immense changes. Today, we need substations that are portable and should be cost effective and time efficient. Thus compact substations manufactures integrate supreme design and other features like:-
  • Factory ready installation
  • Requires less space
  • Ease of access
  • Cost-effective
  • Avoid difficulty in field assembly of critical components
  • Minimizes handling cost
  • Easy to function.
  • Due to different compartments, it enhances safety.
  • Low maintenance
  • Suitable for all weather conditions
  • The transformer is a dry type or oil cooled
  • The package substation manufacturers highlight on building optimum design for facilitating cooling and preventing over-heating.
  • Minimal wiring.
Salient features of MV Switchgear:-
• Voltage sustained up to 12KV, 630A ring switches, 250A Tee-off CB.
 • SF6 insulated ring switch that comes with a vacuum circuit breaker.
• Protection with Time Limit Fuse due to self/auxiliary powered relay.
 •Hi-tech safety because of fully interlocked protection with padlocking facilities.
•Ease in understanding as its provided with a single line mimic diagram for simple and safe operation.
• Separate indicators for Voltage presence & earth faults.

Salient features of Transformer:-
• A comprehensive range of transformers up to 1000kVA.
• High output due to power saving mechanism therebyminimizing losses
• Dry or sealed type.
 • Plug-in bushings.
• Separate Off-load tap changer.
 • Indications of winding temperature and oil monitoring relay.
Salient features of LV switchboard
• Solid busbars are placed, direct from transformers.
 • Circuit switching by employing Moulded Case Circuit Breakers protection.
• MCCB type of incomer up to 1600A.
 • MCCB type of outgoing feeders up to 400A.
• Feeder terminals are suitable for both Cu/Al.
• Current transformers for measuring power metering.
Enclosure:
• It is built from 2 to 3 mm hot-dipped zinc coated mild steel for longer durability.
• Coated with electrostatic Polyester powder paint.
• Finished with standard paint coating.
 • In-build natural ventilation in each compartment for cooling purposes.
• Double skin roof to reduce heating by solar radiation.
• Heavy duty lockable compartment doors for extra safety.
• Lifting by forklift or crane possible.
 • Usage of IP34D for the HV & LV compartment.
 •Usage of IP22D for the transformer compartment.
• Ideal for outdoor installation.

Electrical Power Substation - Type of Electrical substation

Electrical Substation Now days the electrical power demand is increasing very rapidly. For fulfilling these huge power demands the modern time requires creation of bigger and bigger power generating stations. These power generating stations may be hydro-electric, thermal or atomic. Depending upon the availability of resources these stations are constructed different places. These places may not be nearer to load centers where the actual consumption of power takes place. So it is necessary to transmit these huge power blocks from generating station to their load centers. Long and high voltage transmission networks are needed for this purpose. Power is generated comparatively in low voltage level. It is economical to transmit power at high voltage level. Distribution of electrical power is done at lower voltage levels as specified by consumers. For maintaining these voltage levels and for providing greater stability a number of transformation and switching stations have to be created in ...

Ring Main Unit (RMU)

  Ring Main Unit,   RMU   is a compact, enclosed and sealed type of Switchgear used for medium voltage power distribution. It is a complete Switchgear in itself. A complete Switchgear means, assembly of required switching devices, protection device as well as metering device. RMU of different voltage (mostly 12 kV and 24 kV) and current ratings are available.  Indoor as well as outdoor types of Ring Main Units are available. Ring Main Unit comprises of one incomer feeder and one or more outgoing feeder. The incomer feeder is either Vacuum Circuit Breaker or SF 6  Circuit Breaker with associated Disconnect Switch and Earth Switch. This incomer feeder is given with the provision of bushing protruding from the enclosure of RMU for supply cable connection. A typical Ring Main Unit is shown in figure below. Outgoing feeder comprises of Load Break Switches with associated Disconnect Switch and Earth Switch. Provision for cable connection is provided in outgoing f...

What Is Energy Efficiency Level 2 Transformer ?

High-efficiency transformers make financial benefits for the society. Other than diminished greenhouse gas emanations, they progress reliability and deliver possibly longer benefit life by bringing down temperature rises through energy-efficiency advancements. India has, by presently, received the universal IEC standards as well as presented star naming for chosen categories of transformers. Most power losses happen within the transformer core made up of magnetic steel or within the electrical coils or windings of either aluminum or copper. Copper diminishes load loss, since it could be a more proficient conductor. The significant Indian standard for distribution transformers (DTs) IS:1180/1989 has been changed within the year 2014 as IS:1180 (Part1)/2014 by Bureau of Indian Standard (BIS) subsequently superseding IS:1180 (Portion 1 and 2)/1989 both for fixed and non-sealed sort. This standard advance prescribes numerous reviewing with respect to vitality effectiveness, i.e. three ...
