Compact Substation (CSS)

Engineered Power Hub

Factory-Assembled Package Substations up to 20 MVA, 33 kV

Urja Techniques (India) Pvt. Ltd. is a premier manufacturer and exporter of Unitized Compact Substations (CSS), also recognized worldwide as Package Substations (PSS) or Prefabricated Kiosk Substations. Engineered to replace expansive conventional brick-and-mortar substations, our CSS solutions combine Medium Voltage (HT) Switchgear, a highly efficient Power/Distribution Transformer, and a Low Voltage (LT) distribution board within a singular, tamper-proof, and weather-resistant enclosure.

Manufactured under strict ISO 9001, 14001, and 45001 certified quality control systems at our modern plant in MIDC Rabale, Navi Mumbai, each unit arrives at the site fully wired, tested, and ready for immediate grid energization.

  • Compact footprint saves up to 70% land space compared to open-yard substations.
  • Pre-assembled, wired, and factory-tested to eliminate on-site commissioning delays.
  • Segregated internal compartments with internal arc classification for utmost human safety.
  • Completely compliant with IEC 62271-202, IS 14728, and ANSI standards.
URJA Factory-assembled Compact Unitized Substation
Compartmentalized Engineering

Three-in-One Integrated Substation Architecture

Every compact substation engineered by URJA features three distinct, metal-segregated compartments designed to maximize equipment life and ensure safe maintenance.

1. Medium Voltage (HT) Room

Houses high-voltage incoming switchgear, configured with either SF6-insulated Ring Main Units (RMU) or compact Vacuum Circuit Breakers (VCB).

  • Load Break Switches (LBS) / VCB
  • Built-in earth switches & interlocks
  • Surge arresters & voltage indicators
  • Self-powered numerical relays

2. Transformer Compartment

Engineered to house either an oil-immersed distribution transformer (ONAN) or a Cast Resin Dry Type (CRT) / VPI transformer.

  • Ratings up to 20 MVA, 33 kV class
  • Integrated oil collection sump basin
  • Natural ventilation louvers (IP23 / IP33)
  • Temperature monitoring & trip sensors

3. Low Voltage (LT) Panel

Custom-built LV switchboard facilitating power distribution, protection, metering, and power quality optimization.

  • Air Circuit Breakers (ACB) / MCCBs
  • Automatic Power Factor Correction (APFC)
  • Multifunction digital energy meters
  • Busbars rated with high short-circuit limits
