Substation design
The choice that weighs on your energy bill for the next twenty years.
Why it matters in Brazil
In Brazil, medium voltage substations follow ABNT NBR 14039 and the standards of the local utility. For transformers with PCB oil (askarel), Law 14.250/2021 requires their elimination: an old substation should be assessed before it becomes a legal problem.
Every engineering design, inspection or report in Brazil must be registered with an ART (Law 6.496/1977) by a professional registered with CREA (Law 5.194/1966). NR-10 also requires every organisation to keep the electrical design and records of earthing inspection and measurement (item 10.15.3).
What it covers
- moving from low to medium voltage;
- new plant or expansion;
- existing substation without documentation or at end of life;
- upgrade for the free energy market.
What you receive
- substation design, protection and earthing grid;
- approval by the utility;
- ART registered with CREA.
