 General Information

General Ease of Expansion

The unit substation is a vital piece of equipment to be consid-
ered when planning industrial, commercial, and institutional
electrical system demands. Square D Company can provide a
unit substation to receive up to 34,500 volts, transform this to
a lower utilization voltage, and control its distribution to nearby
load areas. Square D Company is a single source supplier of
both primary and secondary unit substations.
Square D considers the unit substation as a single product that
is designed, coordinated, assembled, and tested at different
manufacturing locations as multiple self-enclosed pieces of
equipment intended for connection at the jobsite. Various com-
binations of incoming sections, transformer sections, and dis-
tribution sections make possible a variety of designs (See unit
substation selection table on this page).
Both Square D Company’s primary unit substations and sec-
ondary unit substations are designed, manufactured, and
tested in accordance with ANSI C37.121-1989 and other
applicable ANSI standards, and the applicable standards of
NEMA, UL, and IEEE.
When designing a unit substation, refer to the typical arrange-
ments shown in Section 10 of ANSI C37.121-1989. It is also
important to consider the environmental conditions, system
conditions, installation conditions, and load requirements as
outlined in ANSI C37.121-1989.
A unit substation offers the following operational and econom-
ical advantages:
New unit substations are easily added to primary voltage dis-
tribution systems with little effect on the existing equipment.
Additional incoming line or low voltage distribution sections
can be added to an existing unit substation.
Maintenance
The equipment consists of components designed for minimum
maintenance. Refer to operation and maintenance manuals for
each section.
Seismic Calculations
Seismic calculations are available for most Square D substa-
tion equipment to show that when anchored as recommended,
they will remain anchored during a seismic event. All seismic
calculations are made per the Uniform Building Code. For QED
Switchboards, seismic calculations are not available, but QED
Switchboards have been tested and are seismically qualified
up to seismic zone 4 when anchored as recommended (see
QED switchboard catalog, class 2742 for details).
Manufacturer’s Responsibilities
Unit substations are engineered and manufactured by Square D
Company. A single warranty covers the entire unit substation.
Square D Company also has a field services division which is
available for start-up service along with other services.

Ease of Installation
The equipment is divided into factory-coordinated shipping

are accessible for ease of installation.

Model III POWER-ZONE® former is built with 220°C insulation. 150°C rise is available
through 500 kVA. 115°C and 80°C rise are available up to
Package Unit Substation 300 kVA. ANSI 49 or ANSI 61 paint is available.
The secondary circuit breaker distribution section is equipped
with an I-LINE®‚ distribution panelboard which accepts the
time-tested and widely acclaimed plug-on I-LINE family of
molded case circuit breakers. Branch circuit breakers as small
as 15 A single pole FY or FA frame with 1.5" (38 mm) mounting
height, to as large as 1200 A NA frame 3-pole breakers with 15
inches (381 mm) mounting height may be installed. ME/NE
frame electronic trip breakers and I-LIMITER®‚ high interrupting
capacity current limiting circuit breakers may also be used. This
section provides 81" (2057 mm) of circuit breaker mounting
height.
Model III substations allow faster and easier installations. Their
compact design allows a greater choice of installation loca-
tions. Package substations provide lower cost systems
through:
• Service Continuity — Substations located at each load
area isolate outages and allow faster trouble-shooting.
• Expansion — Substations divide a system into isolated
sections which are unaffected by the addition of new
load areas.
• Efficient Performance — Shorter secondary feeders
lower power loss and provide better voltage regulation.
• Lower Power Cost — Power is purchased at lower
primary rates.
General Application Data • Lower Equipment Costs — High voltage cable is less
expensive than high-current, low voltage feeder circuits.

and tested as one integral unit by Square D.
The Model III is only 36" (914 mm) deep and 85" (2159 mm)
high, so it will pass through most existing doorways without
structural renovation to the building in which it is installed. Total
weight is less than 8,000 pounds (3629 kg) and the footprint
occupies less than 22 square feet (2.04 m2) of floorspace, for a
floor-loading of less than 365 lb./sq. ft. (1782 kg/m2).
The air intake is located at the front bottom; the exhaust is on
top of the transformer section, so the unit can be installed
against a wall or in a corner without alteration or derating.
Model III POWER-ZONE package unit substations are ideal for
new installations in existing buildings as well as for spot zone
distribution in new construction.
Substations are normally shipped as two units, split between
the incoming line section and the transformer/low voltage dis-
tribution sections. Upon request, they can be provided in one
section on a common base.
Model III POWER-ZONE package unit substations are avail-
able in sizes from 75 kVA through 500 kVA with three phase
primary voltages of 2400 volts through 13,800 volts. When
equipped with fan cooling, ratings as high as 667 kVA are avail-
able, AA/FA. Secondary voltages of 600 V delta, 480 V delta,

lock systems. For convenience, 14 commonly used key inter-
lock schemes are described in the following pages. If one or
more of the key interlock schemes shown is to be included with
a Square D unit substation, please mention the method number
when the order is placed. Other key interlock schemes are
available – please contact your local Square D field sales office.

Notes:
These dimensions are for cable-connected primaries only. For primaries above 530A, the
primary must be bus-connected. Please contact the factory for these cases.
For units in the 5 kV class with 45 or 60 kV BIL, use dimensions shown in the 15 kV class.
Units are 54" deep except for units over 108" wide x 102" high, which will be 66" deep.
It is recommended that ventilation openings have 12" min. clearance from any obstacle to
satisfy NEC 450-9.
All weights are approximate; for copper windings add 15% to weight.
Units close-coupled to 4001-5000 A switchgear are 60" deep minimum. Contact the factory
for dimensions of units close-coupled to secondary metal-clad switchgear or when UL
Listing is required.

Notes:
1. Outdoor units must be coordinated with POWER-ZONE® NEMA Type 3R walk-in or non-walk-in enclosures on a case-by-case basis. Please consult the Power-Zone Center group in Smyrna,
TN for details.
2. Transformer dimensions may vary depending upon kVA, BIL and temperature rise ratings. See TRANSFORMER section for a complete table of transformer dimensions. Transformers close-
coupling to 4001 A-5000 A PZ III gear are 60" deep minimum. Power-Cast/Uni-Cast transformers close-coupling to 4001-5000 A PZ III gear will be a minimum of 100" in height.
3. Please consult the PZ III layout guide or Q2C product selector for conduit area dimensions and cabinet width and depth.
4. Larger offset values are for switchgear with DS-840 or DSL switchgear.
