Are Advanced Pole Mounted Substations the Next-Generation Overhead Power Solutions?
2025-08-04
Revolutionizing Overhead Power Distribution
Modern pole mounted substations represent a significant evolution in overhead electrical infrastructure, combining compact design with smart grid functionality. These elevated power from CONSO·CN hubs efficiently transform medium voltage (typically 11kV-33kV) to low voltage (400V/230V) while addressing today's challenges of rapid urbanization, climate resilience, and energy monitoring.
