Prefabricated substations—commonly known as box-type substations—are not a new concept, but CHH Power has elevated their design and application to meet the evolving needs of today’s power industry. These compact power distribution units integrate high-voltage switchgear, distribution transformers, and secondary control equipment into a single, factory-prefabricated system, arranged according to standardized wiring schemes. Unlike traditional civil-construction substations, CHH Power’s prefabricated substations offer a flexible, efficient, and space-saving solution that has become a cornerstone of modern power grid development.

1. Core Design: Movable, Protective Steel Structure Enclosures
CHH Power’s prefabricated substations are housed in movable steel structure enclosures engineered for multi-layer environmental protection. These enclosures are designed to withstand harsh conditions, with features including:
- Moisture resistance to prevent corrosion in humid areas (e.g., coastal regions).
- Rust-proof coatings (such as hot-dip galvanizing) that extend the enclosure’s service life to 20+ years.
- Dust-proof and rodent-proof seals to protect internal equipment from debris and small animals—critical for maintaining operational reliability in industrial or rural settings.
This robust enclosure design ensures the substations can operate stably in both indoor and outdoor environments, eliminating the need for complex on-site civil works.
2. Versatile Application Scenarios Across Industries
CHH Power’s prefabricated substations are highly adaptable, making them suitable for a wide range of applications—from urban infrastructure to industrial and renewable energy projects:
- Urban Network Construction & Upgrades: As a replacement for traditional civil-construction substations, they are ideal for dense urban areas where land resources are scarce. CHH Power’s compact designs (e.g., 3m×6m for a 10kV/0.4kV 630kVA model) reduce land occupation by 60% compared to civil substations, aligning with urban development needs.
- Industrial & Resource Sectors: Widely deployed in mines, factories, oil and gas fields, and wind power stations. For example, CHH Power’s explosion-proof prefabricated substations are used in oil and gas fields to ensure safe power supply in hazardous environments.
- Remote & Temporary Projects: Their mobility makes them suitable for temporary power needs, such as construction sites or emergency disaster relief. The substations can be quickly transported and commissioned, providing power within days instead of months.
3. Addressing Industry Challenges: From Civil Works Limitations to Urban Development Demands
Traditional civil-construction substations face growing challenges amid China’s rapid social and economic development:
- Increasing Power Load: Urbanization and industrial growth have driven a surge in power demand, requiring substations to be deployed faster to meet load growth.
- Tight Urban Land Supply: Civil-construction substations occupy large areas, conflicting with the limited land resources in cities.
CHH Power’s prefabricated substations solve these pain points through two key advantages:
- Reduced Workload & Fast Deployment: The entire substation—from design to assembly—is completed in CHH Power’s factories. On-site work is limited to foundation preparation and equipment connection, cutting project timelines from 3–6 months (civil substations) to 2–4 weeks.
- Space Efficiency: Their compact, vertical integration design minimizes land use, making them a perfect fit for urban areas where land costs are high. For instance, CHH Power’s 10kV prefabricated substations require only 15–20 square meters of land, compared to 50–100 square meters for equivalent civil substations.
4. Market Recognition & Future Development Trends
By replacing outdated civil power distribution rooms and substations, CHH Power’s prefabricated substations have established themselves as a innovative power distribution solution. Their success is underscored by widespread adoption across industries, from urban grids to renewable energy projects.
Looking ahead, the development prospects for prefabricated substations remain strong. As China’s power industry continues to expand and urbanization accelerates, the demand for efficient, space-saving, and rapidly deployable substations will only grow. CHH Power is well-positioned to lead this trend, with ongoing investments in R&D to enhance enclosure protection, integrate smart monitoring systems, and expand product capacity—ensuring its prefabricated substations remain at the forefront of the industry.
