Occupying almost zero space, this 400KVA sub-station will be built at the parking lot of Tata Power’s Parel Receiving Station.
Besides supporting the power demand load of the high-rise infrastructure in the surrounding areas, this sub-station will offer a steady and stable supply of electricity to consumers during emergencies, such as floods and storms.
The substation will feature a particularly designed 22kV submersible duty three-way Ring Man Unit, 22kV/433V 400KVA transformer and accessories intended for submerged operations.
Furthermore, its terminations will come with touch-proof design technologies and can operate under submersion.
