Design features
The CCTS block design is a dimensional reinforced concrete casing made of concrete, consisting of a cable structure and a monolithic dimensional block, providing protection of electrical equipment from exposures and necessary strength characteristics during operation and transportation.
The openings are provided in the foundation plate of each CCTS block, for the high-voltage switchgear and low-voltage switchgear for the passage of cables and a hatch for access to the cable pulling chamber.
The CCTS set comes with the foundation block (cable construction or cable pulling chamber) the walls of which are covered with a special sealing compound to prevent moisture from penetrating inside the CCTS. The thicknesses in the walls of the cable pit, in which pipes are installed, are provided to simplify the cable entering into the substation. The openings are provided in the foundation plate of each CCTS block, for the high-voltage switchgear and low-voltage switchgear for the passage of cables and a hatch for access to the cable pulling chamber.
The substation outdoor unit casing is covered with a special stucco, which gives an aesthetic appearance to the substation and protects it from precipitation. The CCTS roof is covered with asphalt mastic and a melting material, which provides waterproofing that excludes the penetration of precipitations into the substation.
The holes are provided for the drainage of the transformer oil in the foundation plate under the power transformers. A tank is installed for the full volume of the transformer oil in the dimensional pulling chamber under the power transformer. The guides are provided in the transformer compartment, that provides rolling-in and locking all the transformer types, used in the CCTS.
Then, all the metallic elements are mounted into the CCTS casing: metal gate of the transformer compartment, metal doors of the HVSG and LVSG compartments, ventilation grilles, dampers and grids. All the metal elements are covered with anti-corrosion coating and powder paint.
The CCTS internal grounding loop is mounted with a metal strip of 4x40mm.
A natural ventilation is provided in the CCTS by application of the ventilation grilles with a width of holes of no more than 10mm in the doors and on one of the walls of the transformer compartment. In order to provide protection against the penetration rodents and other animals, the ventilation grilles are additionally covered with a metal grid with a cell width of no more than 10x10mm.v
