Overview
Urban infrastructure projects, including commercial complexes, residential communities, subway transit systems and municipal public works, are characterized by dense power loads, limited installation space, strict environmental constraints and high power supply reliability requirements. Municipal power equipment must feature compact dimensions, ultra-low noise, aesthetic appearance, strong environmental adaptability and low failure rates to ensure stable power supply for urban operational systems and residential daily life.
Urban Dry-Type Transformers
SCB series cast resin transformers with flame-retardant, non-combustible design fully compliant with urban building fire codes. Ultra-low noise operation for residential areas, shopping malls and office buildings.
Energy-Saving Oil-Immersed
S13, S20 series ultra-low loss transformers with extremely low no-load loss reducing long-term municipal grid energy consumption. Full-sealed maintenance-free structure for outdoor deployment.
Compact Box Substations
ZBW/ZGS prefabricated substations integrating HV cabinets, transformers and LV distribution. Factory pre-assembled and pre-tested, eliminating large-scale civil construction for rapid urban grid connection.
Ring Main Units
XGN15-12 compact ring network switchgear for urban ring power supply networks, supporting flexible power switching, line fault isolation and rapid power restoration for improved supply reliability.
