Reliable Medium Voltage Substations for Global Power Distribution

Medium voltage substations are a critical link between power generation and end-users.
Among them, 11kV, 33kV, and 35kV medium voltage substations are the most widely adopted voltage levels for industrial, commercial, and utility power distribution systems.

Our IEC-compliant compact and prefabricated substations are engineered to deliver safe, efficient, and long-term power solutions for projects worldwide. Designed for fast installation, minimal footprint, and high reliability, they are ideal for both indoor and outdoor applications.

Understanding 11kV, 33kV and 35kV Substations

Different regions use different voltage standards, which often leads to naming confusion:

  • 11kV Substation
    Commonly used for local distribution, industrial plants, and commercial buildings.

  • 33kV Substation
    Widely adopted in IEC markets such as Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and Southeast Asia.

  • 35kV Substation
    Frequently used in China, CIS countries, and parts of Asia, serving similar roles to 33kV systems.

Although the voltage levels differ, the design principles, safety requirements, and functional structures are largely the same when built to IEC standards.

Compact & Prefabricated Substation Solutions

To meet modern project requirements, we offer multiple medium voltage substation configurations:

  • Compact Substation (Package Substation)
    Transformer, MV switchgear, and LV distribution integrated into a single enclosure.

  • Prefabricated Substation
    Factory-assembled, fully tested, and ready for quick on-site installation.

  • Containerized / E-House Substation
    Ideal for large industrial, mining, and renewable energy projects.

All solutions are designed to reduce civil work, shorten installation time, and improve operational safety.
