Modular integrated transportable substation

Eaton’s modular integrated transportable substation (MITS) is an ultra-flexible modular substation solution designed to your specific needs. The prefab substation is assembled on a self-supporting transformer skid or trailer, creating an easily transportable design that can be quickly energised. Factory-assembled, wired and tested, the turnkey power substation reduces costs, time, space and labour. 

Core features

  • Available up to 145 kV
  • Factory-assembled, wired and tested for quick, confident installation and energisation
  • On-board protection, control and automation devices minimise on-site labour costs, quality issues and time 
  • NEMA 3R skid facilitates easy transportation, with the entire solution fitting on a platform or trailer 
  • Small footprint occupies minimal space 
  • Flexible design can be deployed in a variety of configurations and applications
  • Scalability enables modules to connect together to form larger, more complex substations
  • Dead-front, pad-mounted transformer enhances security
  • Shield-grounded medium-voltage cable makes solution less susceptible to environmental and critter damage 
  • Eaton’s turnkey solution covers design, manufacture, installation and support

    Specifications

    The flexibility of Eaton’s modular integrated transportable substation makes it ideal for a wide variety of industries, including industrial and mining sites, commercial and distributed facilities and utility applications. The following testimonials provide a brief snapshot into the range of application for a MITS.

    Voltage regulation with bypassing

    Problem: poor voltage regulation was causing significant equipment problems at a wastewater treatment facility.

    Solution: the facility deployed a voltage regulation MITS in an aesthetically pleasing design. The solution provided a single-point contact for project management, plug-and-play installation and on-board fluid containment.

    Results: the Eaton MITS resolved the voltage regulation issues at the facility, significantly improving reliability and resulting in fewer equipment issues.

    Mobile MITS application

    Problem: fuelled by the need to respond and react to potential emergency situations, the customer required a dedicated mobile solution capable of transforming voltage. 

    Solution: an Eaton mobile MITS provided the ideal solution for this application. Used in conjunction with a mobile genset, voltage is generated at 480V and stepped up to a voltage of either 4160Y/2400 or 2400V delta to supply power on an emergency basis.

    Results: completely mobile, the Eaton MITS improved reaction time in emergency situations while affording the customer an integrated connection interface and simple design.

    Natural gas extraction

    Problem: a mining industry customer required a substation that could be configured to supply electrical loads at sites where ground water embedded with natural gas is extracted.  

    Solution: the Eaton MITS provided a different way of building substations for the mining industry. Using a skid-based platform, the modular substation is designed to be relocated to a new site after its service is completed at another.

    Results: the ability to move the entire substation without complete disassembly provides the customer with substantial benefits over conventional substation installations, including 50 % savings on future relocation costs, 15 % savings in initial design, 25 % savings in space and an increased cash flow due to a quickly commissioned substation.
