Metalclad Distribution Substation (MDS)

Traditionally, the major elements of a substation are purchased from different suppliers. The customer then has to bear the cost of connecting the components together and the possible risk of damage during assembly. The Metalclad Distribution Substation eliminates this cost and risk as it is pre-assembled and factory tested before being delivered to site. An all-in-one solution, incorporating:

- A distribution transformer, either free-breathing or hermetically sealed - ratings are available from 200kVA to 1600kVA - (1)
