    Compact Secondary Substations (CSS)

    Designed in accordance with IEC 61330 standards,


    the CSS is a prefabricated secondary substation
    with type-tested equipment and includes a
    distribution transformer, medium voltage switchgear,
    low-voltage switchboard, connections and
    associated equipment in a compact unit. The CSS is
    designed keeping in mind high levels of personal
    safety and aesthetics as they are often located in
    high density, urban centres.
    All components are housed in an enclosure, which
    protects the equipment against environmental
    hazards and unauthorised access. The enclosure is
    typically divided into three sections or
    compartments medium voltage switchgear, low
    voltage switchboard and distribution transformer.
    The substation can be operated from the inside
    (Walk-in type) or from the outside (Non Walk-in type).
    The electrical equipment is cooled by natural
    ventilation through openings in the substation.

    structure. The result is a fully earthed enclosure,
    providing a high level of personal safety.

    Personal safety

    Protection

    All live parts in the CSS range are protected against


    unintentional contact by means of lockable doors.
    Cable connections and fuses in the medium voltage
    room are also protected against unintentional contact.
    Anti-contact protection is tested in accordance with
    IEC 61330. Clinched or screwed connections form
    electrical connections with all of the stations metal

    The substation is subjected to moisture, condensation


    and dirt. In coastal locations sea salt on the surface of
    open, insulated surfaces can cause leaking current,
    which can result in a flashover. Accordingly, the CSS is
    designed and fabricated using material and equipment
    capable of withstanding harsh climatic and operational
    conditions.

    Product overview

    The CSS consists of modular components which makes it possible to custom design the equipment based
    on customers requirements. The solutions shown below are a few examples of the many options.

    Model CSS-SW
    Walk-in station. Surface mounted and operated from the inside.

    Model CSS-SN
    Non-walk-in station. Surface mounted and operated from the outside.

    Modular structure
    The enclosures of CSS consist of 300mm wide
    modules (M) and plus corner sections measuring
    115x115 mm. The walls are supplied in four different
    heights and the roofs with two angles of pitch, 6o
    and 18o. The doors are 2, 3 or 4 m wide and can be
    fitted as either single or double doors. The ventilation
    doors are 2 or 3 m wide.

    installation partially below ground level are supplied
    with foundations at three different heights: 528mm,
    778mm or 978mm, depending on the size of the
    transformer. The foundation and base frame are
    produced using 2mm G.I. Sheet.

    The CSS comes in standard sizes and other


    customised sizes can be supplied on request.

    The Enclosure
    The enclosure is typically divided into three
    compartments for the medium voltage switchgear,
    low voltage switchboard and distribution
    transformer. All standard modules of walls, doors
    and ceilings are produced using roller formed
    sections. The detachable roof with ventilation
    openings is supported by a beam and secured to
    the corner sections with bolts.
    Standard doors are fitted with handles and bolts for
    padlocks. The doors are closed by means of a twopoint device, which secures the door to the top
    frame and the base frame. The doors are fitted with
    stainless steel hinges and with door stoppers. The
    wall and roof modules are assembled by means of a
    self-locking mechanism.

    Oil collection pit

    Ventilation

    When the CSS is installed partly below the ground,


    an integrated oil collection pit made from 1.5 mm
    galvanised steel is a standard feature. A separate oil
    collection pit for stations installed at ground level can
    be supplied. The distribution transformer is fitted in
    the oil collection pit, which has a volume of at least
    20% of the transformers oil volume. The oil
    collection pit provides protection against oil pollution
    in case of a leak in the transformer. The oil pit is
    normally supplied as per IE regulations where the
    transformer oil capacity is >2000 litres.

    Ventilation is achieved by means of natural air


    circulation of air from the top of the roof to the lower
    part of the doors that contain ventilation openings.
    Sufficient cooling of the distribution transformers is
    achieved by means of ventilation openings in the
    transformer room that are designed considering
    transformer rating, losses and climatic conditions.
    A standard CSS is classified and type tested in
    accordance with temperature class K20.
    Temperature class K10 can be achieved for all
    ground level substations by means of additional
    ventilation that can be achieved by increasing the
    ventilation area of the transformer room.

    Partitioned roof
    The standard roof of up to 3.8 m in length can be
    detached in one piece. A partitioned roof can be
    supplied for stations over 3 m.
