FlexStation

A Shallbetter exclusive, the FlexStation provides an innovative new approach to the traditional ‘open air’ or ‘lattice structure’ substation and an economical alternative to traditional metal-clad switchgear. By putting equipment inside, the FlexStation offers increased reliability for power distribution and turns outages from weather or animal intruders into a thing of the past. FlexStation’s utilization of existing equipment is a value-added feature, saving customers new inventory and maintenance costs.

Safety
The FlexStation incorporates and utilizes the same components you are currently operating on your system. Your personnel know that system. With FlexStations, operator familiarity enhances safety without requiring additional operation and safety training. It also saves you money on maintenance costs.

Flexibility
The name says it all. You can add, remove, or change OEM components without being tied to factory-specific, originally-supplied components. The footprint required for installation is much smaller than that of a traditional substation, providing a creative solution for land-locked substations in need of expansion.

Our commitment to quality can be seen in our high-grade materials, including:
  • 4000-hour paint (ANSI tested/certified)
  • A-60 Galvanneal steel
  • Copper bus (silver- or tin-plated)
  • Stainless steel exterior hardware
  • Welded construction
For design, specification or application assistance, please contact Shallbetter.

The Challenge

A rural, municipal utility needed to expand one of its substations. The substation was land-locked, surrounded by privately-owned land.

The Shallbetter Difference

The Shallbetter team worked with the municipal utility to design, engineer, build and install a flexible substation. The benefits were many:
  • increased reliability through reduced outages caused by weather and animals
  • reduced space required for the footprint
  • improved aesthetics for the community
  • cost-savings
The dramatic results led the municipality to not only contract with Shallbetter for three additional FlexStations, but also to make FlexStation their standard.
