Designed to IEEE C37.121, ANSI C57.12.34 and IEC 62271-202; UL/CSA certifiable. Entogo, a Canadian company, builds the Pad-Mounted Compact Secondary Unit Substation in its own factory in China with a vertically integrated supply chain — factory-direct pricing, shipping in 16–24 weeks (within 36 weeks when the order needs new cULus/CSA certification), and a minimum 36-month manufacturer warranty backed by Entogo Inc. in Toronto. This **pad-mounted compact secondary unit substation** packages the incoming medium-voltage switching, the distribution transformer (up to **2500 kVA**) and the low-voltage distribution section into a single factory-assembled, weather-tight enclosure for **15 / 25 kV class** commercial and industrial service. It is the North American unit-substation counterpart to the IEC-style kiosk substation, delivered ready to set on a prepared pad and connect. Dead-front load-break switching with fuse (or vacuum-breaker) protection supports loop- or radial-feed connection, and the tamper-resistant **NEMA 3R** enclosure in ANSI 70 green suits buildings, campuses, malls and light-industrial sites. The assembly is factory-tested as a complete substation to shorten on-site commissioning, and is designed and built to **IEEE C37.121**, ANSI C57.12.34 / C57.12.28 and IEC 62271-202 — with UL (cULus) / CSA certification available on request. ## Key features - Single factory-assembled, weather-tight enclosure combining MV switching, transformer and LV distribution — replaces a separate pad-mount transformer and cabinet bolted together on site. - Designed and built to IEEE C37.121 (unit substations), ANSI C57.12.34 / C57.12.28 and IEC 62271-202, 60 Hz — UL (cULus) / CSA certification available on request. - Dead-front load-break switching and fuse (or vacuum breaker) protection; loop- or radial-feed. - Tamper-resistant NEMA 3R enclosure, ANSI 70 green, for commercial, institutional and light-industrial sites. - Factory-tested as a complete substation to shorten on-site commissioning.
