What are the advantages of American-style box substations?
The American-style box substation is a type of prefabricated substation that integrates high-voltage switchgear, distribution transformers, and low-voltage distribution devices into a compact steel structure box according to a specific wiring scheme. This design makes it particularly suitable for urban network construction and renovation, as well as for places such as mines, factories, and wind power stations. The main advantages of the American-style box substation include:
-
Small size and compact structureThe American-style box substation occupies a small area, making it easy to install and transport, and can flexibly adapt to various environments, especially in space-limited urban areas.
-
Fully sealed oil tank and fully insulated designThis design ensures the safety and reliability of the substation's operation, reduces the impact of the external environment on the equipment, and extends the service life of the equipment.
-
Flexible power supplyThe American-style box substation can be used for ring network power supply as well as terminal power supply, with flexible and varied operating modes that can meet different power supply needs.
-
Strong overload capacity and excellent short-circuit performanceThis ensures that the substation can operate stably during grid fluctuations or sudden short circuits, reducing power outage time.
-
Energy-saving and low lossThe loss value of the American-style box substation does not exceed the new S9 loss value, helping to reduce operating costs and improve energy utilization efficiency.
-
Cable heads can handle large load currentsThe cable heads of the American-style box substation can handle load currents of up to 200A, with a high mechanical and electrical lifespan.
In addition, the American-style box substation also has advantages such as easy installation, convenient maintenance, low investment, and quick results. It has replaced the original civil construction distribution rooms and power stations, becoming a widely used complete set of power distribution devices.
However, it should also be noted that the American-style box substation has some disadvantages, such as relatively low power supply reliability, the inability to add distribution automation devices without electric mechanisms, and the lack of capacitor devices which is not conducive to reducing line losses. Therefore, when selecting and using it, it is necessary to weigh and consider based on specific needs and scenarios.
In summary, the American-style box substation has multiple advantages, especially suitable for multi-story residential buildings and other less critical buildings with relatively low power supply requirements. In practical applications, the appropriate model and configuration should be selected based on specific circumstances to fully leverage its advantages and meet power supply needs.
