Mobile substations usually include a transformer, switchgear, and other electrical gear. The transformer changes high-voltage power from the grid into a lower-voltage form suitable for homes and businesses. The switchgear safeguards the electrical equipment and facilitates connecting the substation to the grid.
Voltage:66kV

Application
Think about a place that needs a lot of electricity for a
short time. Now, imagine a situation where the power
suddenly goes out at a substation. These scenarios and more,
which we'll talk about in detail below, are where mobile
substations come in handy.
Emergency Power Outage:This is when the power gets cut unexpectedly due to a problem. The utility services respond by bringing in a mobile substation. This substation is connected while they fix and figure out the issue.
Planned Outage:Sometimes, the power has to be turned off on purpose for maintenance or upgrades. In these cases, a mobile substation is brought in to provide power while the regular setup is getting worked on.
Grid Unconnected in Remote Areas:Think about places like deserts, mining sites, or forests that need electricity but can't have a permanent substation. You can't just build a substation there. So, for a temporary power solution, a mobile substation is the way to go.
Load Movement:Certain activities, like mining or military camps, need power on the move. In these situations, a mobile substation is the most practical solution.
Integration of Distributed Generation:When planning out a grid network, sometimes you need to test how well it's going to work. Mobile substations come into play during this testing phase. It's crucial to check if the location is suitable and if it'll affect the power quality and reliability.
