What does a transformer compact station cost?
The Costs for a compact transformer station depend on various factors, such as the power capacity, the concrete construction of the transformer station, the individual requirements and the installation. To find out exact transformer station prices, we recommend requesting a non-binding quote. Simply fill in our Online enquiry form and quickly receive a suitable offer.
What are compact stations?
Compact stations are space-saving, pre-configured stations that safely house transformers and other electrical components in a compact housing. These transformer compact stations are an efficient solution for power distribution as they are easy to transport and install. They are frequently used in applications such as photovoltaic systems, e-mobility and wind power.
What is the difference between walk-in and non-walk-in compact stations?
Walk-in compact stations offer sufficient space for technicians to carry out maintenance and repair work directly inside. They are ideal for larger projects that require regular maintenance. Non-walk-in compact stations are more compact and fully enclosed, making them space-saving and ideal for use in confined areas. They still offer full functionality and protection, but require less maintenance and are often more cost-effective.
Which transformer stations are there?
There are various Types of transformer stations for example, walk-in and non-walk-in compact stations, depending on the application and requirements. These include compact stations, transformer stations in concrete construction, and special transformer compact stations and container stations for photovoltaics, e-mobility or wind power. Each type of transformer station offers specific advantages and can be customised to suit individual projects.
What are the requirements for the installation?
The installation of a compact station requires careful planning and preparation. The most important requirements include the availability of a suitable location, compliance with local building regulations and ensuring stable ground conditions. In addition, electrical connections must be prepared and all necessary permits obtained. Our team will support you every step of the way to ensure that the installation runs smoothly.
How long does a concrete building last?
Concrete construction, as used for transformer stations and compact stations, is extremely durable. As a rule, the service life of concrete transformer stations is several decades, often between 40 and 60 years. Maintenance and regular inspections can further extend this service life.
How long does delivery and installation take?
The delivery and installation time of a compact station can vary depending on the scope of the project and specific requirements. As a rule, delivery takes from 28 weeks after the order is placed. On-site installation can be completed in a few days depending on the complexity of the project. We will work closely with you to ensure that your schedule is met.
How dangerous are transformer stations?
Transformer stations are generally safe as long as they are properly installed and maintained. Modern concrete transformer stations offer robust protection against external influences and contribute to safety. The risk to the public is minimised as the system and transformer are housed in a secure compact station that meets strict safety standards.
Are transformer stations buildings?
Yes, transformer stations can be considered as buildings, especially if they are constructed in concrete. They provide a protected space for transformers and other electrical components. Compact substations are a space-saving variant that combines all the important elements in a compact, enclosed structure.
