Infrastructure Substations
Brunstock Electric’s power products and solutions are suitable for many types of infrastructure project. In addition to substation solutions, we also offer a wide range of transformers and switchgear. In infrastructure projects, where multiple utilities are involved, our representatives offer a Brunstock solution, taking care of everything from design to delivery, thus reducing the workload on the EPCs and end users.
Brunstock technology for infrastructure other than utilities
What is infrastructure
First of all, what we mean by infrastructure is the underlying structure of a country and its economy, especially fixed installations such as roads, bridges, dams, railways and subways, airports and harbours, public institutions like health, education, police, corrective services, courts and government buildings etc. The electricity grid and the water and sewer systems are forms of infrastructure called utilities.
Substation Kiosks for infrastructure
Substation kiosks are compact, prefabricated structures that house electrical equipment for distributing power. In an infrastructure context they are typically used in urban and suburban areas to step down high-voltage electricity from main lines to a lower, safer voltage for local consumption. Their small size and prefabricated nature make them easy to install and maintain, reducing disruption and costs. Kiosk substations are ideal for residential neighbourhoods, shopping centres and industrial estates.
Infrastructure switchgear
Switchgear refers to a collection of electrical devices used to control, protect and isolate electrical equipment and circuits. It includes components like circuit breakers, fuses and switches. In infrastructure projects, switchgear ensures the safe and efficient operation of electrical systems by protecting them from faults or overloads. It is used in high-voltage, medium-voltage and low-voltage applications, making it versatile for various construction projects.
Power transformers for infrastructure
Transformers play a crucial role in electrical infrastructure by transferring electrical energy between two or more circuits. They use electromagnetic induction to change voltage levels, stepping up voltage for transmission over long distances and stepping down voltage for safe local distribution. Transformers are essential for integrating renewable energy sources like solar and wind into the power grid, ensuring efficient and reliable electricity transmission.
In summary, substation kiosks, switchgear and transformers are integral components of electrical infrastructure projects. They work together to ensure the safe, efficient and reliable distribution of electricity, supporting the growing demand for power in residential, commercial and industrial areas. Brunstock’s solutions are particularly relevant for railway and subway power conversion.
