Product Details

Protection, control, AC/DC distribution and transformer protection panels are placed in one row along a single side, label strips reserved for bay numbering, with a full-length operating and handling aisle in front. ETENZ sets out cabinet positions, steel-section bases and cable penetration routes from the customer's panel schedule and station control diagrams; base fixings and rear wiring space follow cabinet depth. The panels themselves are customer-supplied or integrated within the agreed scope, and their electrical performance and protection settings remain governed by the panel manufacturer's technical agreement.

Secondary panel lineup and mounting platform

An anti-static raised floor is laid in front of the panels, its chequer-plate covers individually removable to open the cable layer beneath. Power and control cables run in separate trunking, with trunking and mesh tray on different levels to avoid crossings, and earthing conductors follow the same routes and branch off where needed. Floor-layer height is set from cable sizes and bending radii, so one span can be opened for maintenance without lifting the whole aisle and without taking clear height out of the cabin.

The battery rack for the station DC supply is a two-tier frame, braced diagonally at both ends and along the back to act as one structure, fully bolted so it can be carried in as parts and assembled in position, and epoxy coated. Shelf bearer spacing is set out in the factory for the cell type and the number of rows per tier, DC cables rise directly from the floor layer beneath, and the inter-cell connector harness ships with the rack. The battery bank itself is customer-supplied or integrated within the agreed scope, with capacity and configuration governed by the DC system design.

The auxiliary distribution box is designed and manufactured by ETENZ: incomer, lighting, socket, fan and detection circuits each sit on their own miniature circuit breaker across two DIN rails, phase and earth colours follow the marking convention, and outgoing cores are numbered through a terminal rail. Sockets, lighting and switches inside the cabin are pre-wired to the terminal rails to the wiring schedule, cores are ferruled with adjustment length left, so only the external supply and signal connections remain for site.

The fire alarm control panel and module box are assembled and wired in the factory, with cabin detectors, manual fire call points and sounder-beacons connected on a loop, and the panel leaving interfaces free for interlock and monitoring communications. Exit signage and emergency lighting follow the escape route, and the escape door opens directly from inside. Suppression can be supplied and installed by ETENZ or nominated and supplied by the customer; no whole-cabin fire rating is claimed for this unit.

Side-wall intake passes through filters into the cabin and exhaust fans discharge through the opposite wall, each fan behind a stainless perforated guard with an identification plate and removable as a unit for maintenance. Beyond ventilation, a wall-mounted air conditioner with its own control box covers the high-temperature and dehumidification duty, sized for the heat and condensation conditions of secondary equipment rather than loading one method with the whole demand. Lighting, switches and cabling are run with the ceiling and wall panels, with luminaires set along the aisle so they do not conflict with the operating face in front of the panels.

Product FAQs

Yes — that is the first tier, Bare-Shell Supply (Interfaces Reserved). ETENZ provides the structure, envelope, anti-static raised floor and cable trunking, panel steel bases, battery rack, penetrations, earthing and electrical interfaces, and your own or your nominated panel builder does the installation and wiring. Send the panel schedule, outline dimensions and base fixing arrangement early, so steel bases and penetrations can be set out once during manufacturing.

No. 115/22kV is the voltage class of the substation this cabin serves — an application, not a rating or a performance guarantee for the enclosure. The voltage, current and protection settings of the panels inside are fixed by the panel manufacturer's technical agreement; what the cabin provides is lineup space, clearance and maintenance access, penetrations, earthing and cable routes. Secondary equipment for other voltage classes is laid out the same way, from a new panel schedule.

Yes. The rack is a two-tier bolted structure, and shelf bearer spacing, rows per tier and overall frame size are set out in the factory for your cell type and DC system configuration, then carried in as parts and assembled in position. We need the cell type, single-cell dimensions and weight, rows per tier and the orientation of the layout. The battery bank itself is customer-supplied or integrated within the agreed scope, with capacity and configuration governed by the DC system design.

As a ventilation-plus-cooling combination: side-wall intake through filters, exhaust fans on the opposite side, and a wall-mounted air conditioner with its own control box covering the high-temperature and dehumidification duty, so no single method carries the whole load. Sizing comes from the heat dissipation in the panel schedule, the site temperature and humidity conditions and the temperature band allowed inside. Cooling capacity and dehumidification method are fixed during design from the heat load calculation.

Detection, alarm, interlock and remote monitoring interfaces are ETENZ scope: the fire alarm control panel and module box are assembled and wired in the factory, with detectors, manual call points and sounder-beacons on a loop, and exit signage and emergency lighting along the escape route. Suppression can be supplied and installed by ETENZ or nominated and supplied by the customer, according to project scope. No whole-cabin fire rating is claimed; fire classification and acceptance follow the approval requirements at the project location.

The cabin is built as one piece, manufactured, fitted out and inspected in the factory and shipped complete, so there is no on-site joining work. Lifting is from bottom lifting points — four of them with retractable lugs on the unit shown here — with lug positions and quantity fixed during structural design from cabin length, weight and centre of gravity; the corner posts and rings on the roof are for sea lashing and roof-cover support and are not lifting points. Foundation type, fixing method and transport envelope limits are confirmed during design, and route permits for over-width or over-height moves are arranged by the project or the forwarder.
