I. Product Introduction

The ZGS11-10 American-style box-type substation (industry general supplementary model: ZGS11-12/0.4, adapted to 10kV distribution network systems) is a compact, fully sealed, fully insulated, and outdoor prefabricated power transformation equipment developed and designed in strict accordance with GB/T 17467-2020 High-voltage/Low-voltage Prefabricated Substations, GB/T 1094.1-2013 Power Transformers - Part 1: General, and IEC 62271-200 international standards, combined with the convenience requirements of outdoor power distribution scenarios. Its core positioning is to "replace traditional civil distribution rooms and European-style box-type substations, achieving rapid deployment, land saving, unattended operation, and long-term maintenance-free", and is widely used in 10kV distribution network terminal power supply and ring network power supply scenarios. It is the preferred equipment for urban and rural distribution network upgrading, residential supporting, industrial park power distribution, and temporary power supply.

The most prominent feature of the ZGS11-10 American-style box-type substation is its highly integrated design. Different from the "three independent compartments" structure of European-style box-type substations, it integrates core components such as high-voltage load switches, high-breaking current-limiting fuses, oil-immersed distribution transformers, low-voltage power distribution units, electric energy metering devices, and lightning protection systems into one body. Among them, high-voltage components and the transformer body share a sealed oil tank, eliminating the traditional transformer oil pillow design, adopting a fully sealed structure, and significantly reducing the overall volume and weight.

All assembly, wiring, commissioning, and testing of the product are completed in the factory in strict accordance with national and industry standards. Before leaving the factory, it must pass multiple tests such as voltage withstand test, insulation test, protection operation test, sealing test, and temperature rise test to ensure that all performance indicators of the equipment are up to standard and operate stably. On-site installation does not require complex civil construction; only simple concrete foundation pouring, overall equipment hoisting, cable connection, and grounding treatment are required for rapid commissioning, which greatly shortens the construction period and reduces construction costs and labor input.

Compared with European-style box-type substations, the ZJS11-10 American-style box-type substation has core advantages such as smaller size, lighter weight, lower cost, faster installation, more flexible layout, and stronger maintenance-free performance; compared with traditional civil distribution rooms, it covers only 1/10 to 1/5 of the land area, shortens the construction period by more than 80%, and reduces the comprehensive investment cost by more than 40%. It can effectively solve the pain points of scarce urban land resources, tight construction period, and high operation and maintenance costs. At the same time, the product adopts a fully sealed and fully insulated design, which is safe and reliable in operation, can operate stably for a long time in various harsh outdoor environments without additional protective facilities, and truly realizes "factory prefabrication, on-site plug-and-play, and long-term maintenance-free".

The product can flexibly configure ring network/terminal power supply modes, low-voltage outlet circuits, reactive power compensation devices, intelligent monitoring systems, etc., according to users' power distribution needs, adapting to personalized needs of different loads and scenarios, with a service life of more than 20 years. It is a cost-effective choice for urban and rural distribution network upgrading, residential supporting, industrial park power distribution, and temporary power supply.

The ZJS11-10 American-style box-type substation adopts an integrated design of "high-voltage + transformer shared oil tank, low-voltage independent compartment", which is the core highlight distinguishing it from European-style box-type substations, completely solving the pain points of large land occupation and inconvenient layout of traditional substations and European-style box-type substations:

Extreme Integration and Compact Size: High-voltage load switches, fuses, and transformer body share a sealed oil tank, eliminating the traditional transformer oil pillow with a minimalist structure. The volume is only 1/3 to 1/2 of that of European-style box-type substations with the same capacity, and the weight is reduced by more than 40%, greatly saving land area, transportation, and hoisting costs.

Small Land Occupation and Adaptation to Narrow Sites: The floor area is only 1/10 to 1/5 of that of traditional civil distribution rooms. Taking a 315kVA model as an example, the floor area is only 3-4㎡. It can be directly installed in narrow spaces such as residential corners, roadside, green belts, and factory edges, without large-scale civil construction, greatly saving land acquisition and infrastructure costs.

Flexible Layout and Close to Load Center: It can be flexibly arranged near the power load center, shortening the low-voltage power supply distance, reducing line loss, improving power supply quality, and reducing the consumption of low-voltage cables to further save investment costs; it can be installed singly or in parallel, adapting to different terrain and space requirements.
