By integrating cutting-edge technology from renowned component manufacturers like ABB, Schneider, and Siemens, we are able to provide MV Switchgear packages that can be used independently or seamlessly integrated with our LV product offerings. This approach eliminates any coordination issues that may arise from working with multiple suppliers, ensuring the highest level of quality throughout the entire project.
We provide impartial advice and consultancy on HV solutions, ensuring the most competitive and suitable options based on individual requirements, deadlines, and budgets.
All wiring, protection relays, and testing is carried out in-house in our Switchgear manufacturing unit, guaranteeing quality control before completing on-site installation, testing, and commissioning by our dedicated engineers.
We understand the importance of safety, quality and efficiency within critical power applications. Which is why we ensure all of our switchgear is sourced from reputable suppliers, offering a solution that guarantees optimal safety and performance levels throughout its operation.
Our team are well equipped to offer guidance and information on the latest technology available for your MV switchgear, whether that’s arc flash containment systems or Infra-red thermographic windows.
Package Substations manufactured to the same high standard as our switchboards offering a complete MV/LV package which can also incorporate MV switchgear either standalone or close-coupled to the LV Equipment for installation within plant rooms or our purpose-made containerised solutions.
A package substation usually consists of a cast resin transformer that is directly connected to a high voltage network (HV) on the primary side and then directly connected to the LV Main Switchboard from the secondary low voltage (LV) side. The HV supply can come from either a site-owned HV circuit or HV ring which can connect to the primary side of the transformer via a HV rated cable connection box, HV Switch, Circuit Breaker or Ring Main Unit (RMU).
Package Substations are an efficient option to select when a large amount of power is required to feed a site with distributed LV especially when the customer site has access to a suitably rated high voltage power supply. This high voltage power supply is usually fed from a Distribution Network Operator (DNO) owned and operated sub-station or as stated above a site-owned HV Network, depending on the situation.
A Package Substation is a fully integrated close-coupled system, which can save time, space and money when compared to a de-coupled system. The connections from a remote transformer may require a lengthy cable or bus bar runs to reach the LV Switchboard, which can be expensive. Situating a cast resin transformer directly next to a suitably rated switchboard might be an attractive option.
The major benefits of a Package Substation from DCC Switchgear are listed below:
Both the transformer and the Main LV Switchboard can be purchased through the company, saving time and effort
Customers can either choose their own transformer manufacturer or the company can choose from a select group of DCC Switchgear trusted suppliers
DCC Switchgear own and operates its own in-house Fabrications and Paint Plant, meaning the company can design and build transformer housings complete with natural ventilation and forced ventilation systems. Also available are safety door access systems.
If the package is to be situated outside of a building, DCC Switchgear can supply secure GRP and weather-proof type enclosures for this very purpose
The transformer can be directly coupled to the LV Switchgear system via copper bus bars which is a more economical alternative to cabling, especially on larger systems
The operation of a Package Substation can be witness tested at an DCC Switchgear site i.e. in a controlled factory environment booked via a Factory Acceptance Test (FAT) Customers can purchase cast resin transformers up to 4MVA
DCC has increased its service level due to easy accessibility for the customers and more space to stock all types of items.
Throughout the years, we have continually added to our product line with products from reputed manufacturers so as to fulfill the demand of our customers and to render better and faster solutions & services to customers.
Our years of success would not have been possible if not for the loyalty and dedication of the employees many of whom have been here for over 15 years from the stores to our dedicated customer service representatives.
