NHP customer oriented engineered approach in Medium Voltage offering advanced safety features along with long-term reliability and maximised up-time.
Substation Solutions
NHP has been supplying a range of customized prefabricated SMART MV/LV substation solutions up to 22kV and up to 2.5MVA into the Australian and New Zealand markets since 2012.
NHP MV prefabricated kiosk substations are engineered to suit customer specification and application requirements and can house a variety of HV and LV equipment. NHP MV Kiosks are designed and manufactured locally by our partners as per NHP specifications and have to pass final quality inspection and FAT to a complete satisfaction of our own QA department, as well as our customers.
Typical configurations of NHP MV Kiosks include:
- MV/LV Kiosk Substation with:
- MV modular AIS Switchgear (DF2) or RMU,
- Cast Resin or Oil Immersed Transformer
- SMART Cubic LV switchboard with NHP/Terasaki circuit breakers and other LV equipment as required (UPS, HMI, Metering, etc)
- Air insulated modular MV switchgear (DF2) in outdoor enclosures
- Cast Resin Transformers in Outdoor Enclosures with or without LV switchboard

Key components
Arc Quenching System - the Arc Killer
The Arc Killer is a unique worldwide patented, fast acting earthing switch activated by overpressure in the switchgear panel connecting all three phases together and to earth, thus diverting the high energy arcing fault into the low energy metallic short circuit.
The arcing fault will be then finally cleared by upstream CB as per the protection settings. The internal arcing fault is quenched by the Arc Killer in 48ms only, therefore the switchgear assembly is protected from arcing fault and arc flash damage and can be restored in service often in a matter of hours - not weeks. Downtime and resulting financial loss are greatly reduced. Highest possible protection is provided for the operator.
The Arc Killer is for the DF2+ series air insulated modular type switchgear and for the DR6+/DT6+ compact gas-insulated RMUs up to 24kV, there it quenches the arcing fault even faster in 25ms.
NHP DF-2 & DF-2+ Fixed Air Insulated Switchgear with De-mountable Vacuum CB
