Product Overview
American-Type Combined Substation from a Professional Factory in China
The ZGS aggregates substation, widely referred to as American type box transformer, is fitted with the transformer and high/low voltage apparatus into one single device that resembles a 品 type building. With three sides of the device exposed to the environment, the ZGS allows for efficient and space-saving distribution of electricity amongst city grids, outside installations, and green energy developments.

Applications & circuit protection
The ZGS blended substation features integrated MV/LV distribution in a small outdoor casing for a wide range of uses.
- Urban distribution: Compact MV/LV delivery locations.
- Renewable energy: Distribution in wind farms and solar thermal power plants.
- Industries: Providing energy to the facility and productions.
- Outdoor distribution: Reliable power supply protected from weather.

Construction & operating reliability
The transformer with integrated cooling and solid transformer design allows for efficient use of space as well as reliable operation.
- Design of fully-integrated transformer for outdoor use.
- Compact and modular design.
- Natural cooling system for transformer.
- Operating capacity of 50–1600kVA.
- Outdoor IP43 protection rating.
