Prefabricated FORA transformer station compliant with SN EN 62271-202, can be operated from the outside

The FORA transformer station allows for designs with the smallest footprint and is assembled by Cellpack onsite in one day thanks to the interior fittings installed at the Villmergen factory. We offer 8 pre-defined sizes for station type FORA, as standard, as well as completely individual designs. The design complies with the latest state-of-the-art technology and meets the requirements of the applicable regulations and technical standards, namely the type test standard SN EN 62271-202 for prefabricated transformer stations.

FORA transformer station – can be operated from the outside

 

FORA is our prefabricated compact building station featuring a concrete cabin design that can be operated from outside. The stations are fully fitted in our factory, transported by us to the construction site, and installed the same day.

The concrete housing is seamless and comes as a single piece.

Our standard models – consisting of 8 pre-defined FORA stations of different sizes – meet most of our customers’ needs. At the same time, the individual layouts and sizes offer the right solution for virtually any scenario.

The FORA station model fully complies with the requirements of the Ordinance on Heavy Current Installations and relevant engineering standards, namely SN EN 62271-202 for prefabricated stations utilising high voltage and/or low voltage.

Multiple surface and façade variants are available for all station types from Cellpack. The standard model features formwork-smooth exposed concrete.
