Concrete Base & Metal Enclosure Substations
Introduction to Concrete Base & Metal Enclosure Substations
A Strong, Practical Solution for Outdoor Power Installations
Concrete base and metal enclosure substations are robust and cost-effective solutions for medium voltage power distribution. These units consist of a reinforced concrete base that provides structural strength and a galvanized metal enclosure to house electrical components. Designed for urban and industrial outdoor environments, they offer easy installation, high durability, and flexible panel integration, making them ideal for a wide range of field applications.
