American box type YBW series prefabricated compact substation
• Standards: IEC60076,IEC1330,ANSI/IEEE C57.12.00 ,C57.12.20 ,C57.12.90,BS171,SABS 780
• The box type substation is based on advantage of European box YBW substation,which reduces the cost,and solves such defects ad high cost,incomplete protection and poor ventilation and radiation of the European products.
• The products is applicable for various wind power plants and is the best fitted product for wind power generation system.

The feature
1. Strong overload capacity, allowing overload 2 times 2 hours, overload 1.6 times 7 hours without affecting the variable life of the box.
2.Adopt elbow type plug connector, can be very convenient to connect the high-voltage incoming cable, and can be used as load switch in emergency, can be charged plug.
3.Adopt double fuse protection, insert fuse is short circuit fault of double sensitive fuse (temperature, current) protection box.
4.Backup Current Limiting Protection Fuses (ELSP) are used to protect the high voltage side when a fault occurs inside the protection box.
5.Transformers generally use high ignition point oil.
6.All components used for high voltage load switch protection, such as fuse, transformer core and winding, are placed in the same oil tank
