INTRODUCTION

A compact substation is a type of outdoor substation that integrates high-voltage switchgear, transformer, and low-voltage power distribution devices in a single unit. It has three separate compartments for different functions: the high-voltage room, the transformer room, and the low-voltage chamber. The high-voltage room contains the switchgear that connects or disconnects the substation from the power grid. The transformer room houses the transformer that steps down the high voltage to low voltage. The low-voltage chamber distributes the power to the consumers through various circuits and devices.

Compact substations are designed to save space, reduce installation time, and cost, and improve reliability and safety.

Compact substations are having no risk for fire, explosion, severe pollution, chemical corrosion, or severe vibration.
