CONTAINER SUBSTATIONS (CSS)
The CSS series device has been designed to handle medium voltages for construction projects. These electrical substations are commonly used in mining and tunneling applications, CSS can distribute electricity over long distances.
 
The CSS size allows the installation of a higher power transformer, up to 5 MVA. The 20 'and 40' containers conform to standard ISO dimensions for easy transport by ship or truck.
 
Using standard voltages of 6.6 kV, 11 kV and 22 kV, the design allows the user to provide power to the entire construction site and high voltage through power supplies. PBE's CSS series container substation is suitable for a variety of environments. Each power substation is designed according to the required specification.
