Metal Compact Substation
Introduction to Metal Compact Substation
A safe and durable prefabricated substation with standard design for foundation installation
Metal compact substations are among the products of Iran Transfo Substations Development, designed for fast installation, high safety, and mechanical durability. These substations are mounted on a concrete foundation and have a robust steel structure with electrostatic powder coating. Internal components include MV and LV switchgears, transformer, and safety and auxiliary equipment. Their separation by metal partitions enhances safety, reduces thermal effects, and improves system performance.
