Electren has presented its new modular system for traction substations known as Motracs, which offers advantages in terms of costs, logistics, simultaneousness of assembly tasks, testing and commissioning compared to conventional substations.

The Motracs system, which includes the collaboration of companies Mesa, Rockwell Automation and Cuadrelec, is made up of modules of identical external characteristics, with roof and sides that can be totally dismantled and assembled together and make it possible to form clear large rooms in which to install the substation equipment.
This design is especially prepared for transport, as Motracs modules are 40-feet standard ‘High Cube’ containers (12.19 metres in length, 2.44 metres in width and 2.9 metres in height), fully approved for transport of any type.
Specifically designed modules
The modules are specifically designed to house the different functional groups of a substation. There are three types of modules: one for control and telecommunications equipment, one for traction power distribution and a third one for ancillary services power distribution.
The coupling of all of them can be both laterally and frontally, in the same horizontal plane or piling them up in structures of up to four heights, all of which allows the substation to be adapted to any space and configuration.
