Installation
Box Transformer / Substation — Installation
Zhejiang Lvma Electric Co., Ltd box‑type prefabricated substations are factory pre‑assembled and pre‑tested modular units, which greatly reduce on‑site installation workload and civil‑engineering construction.
Foundation Preparation Install on flat, load‑bearing concrete foundation or steel base. Ensure adequate drainage to prevent water accumulation inside the cabinet. Reserve sufficient operation and maintenance clearance around the substation unit.
Lifting & Positioning Use standard lifting points on the cabinet body for hoisting. Avoid collision and strong impact during transportation and placement. Align the equipment to the pre‑planned installation position.
Cable Connection Complete high‑voltage incoming and low‑voltage outgoing cable wiring strictly per wiring diagrams. Tighten all connection terminals properly, implement reliable earthing connection to the grounding grid as required by IEC standards.
Pre‑commissioning Inspection Check door sealing, locking mechanism, protection settings and all internal components. Verify insulation resistance and perform necessary function tests before energization.
Energization & Hand‑over Carry out step‑by‑step energization procedure. Confirm normal operating status. Complete hand‑over with installation check‑list and original technical documents.
