Traditional high-voltage substations often require exposed high-voltage bushings, perimeter fencing, increased safety clearances, larger foundations, and additional civil construction.
For residential communities, industrial facilities, utility projects, and urban infrastructure, these requirements can increase project costs, extend construction schedules, and consume valuable site space.
ETAC’s Dead Front High Voltage Substation Transformer integrates high-voltage equipment within a fully enclosed, tamper-resistant design
With no exposed energized bushings, the solution helps reduce fencing requirements, simplify installation, and provide reliable high-voltage power distribution in a compact, project-ready configuration.

ETAC supports centralized high-voltage power distribution for new communities, residential developments, and growing neighborhoods.
A small number of dead-front high-voltage transformer stations can serve multiple community areas while supporting loop-feed distribution, backup capability, and a cleaner public-facing installation.
For mining operations, processing plants, flour mills, manufacturing facilities, and heavy industrial sites, ETAC provides a cost-effective alternative to traditional fenced substations.
By reducing fencing, site preparation, and civil work, project owners can lower total installed cost and accelerate construction schedules.
Universities, hospitals, downtown campuses, commercial redevelopments, and utility upgrades often require more power within limited available space.
ETAC’s compact dead-front solution helps expand electrical capacity without dedicating valuable land to a conventional fenced substation.
ETAC delivered a high-voltage distribution solution for an industrial power expansion project requiring 18 MW of capacity. Through accelerated engineering, manufacturing, and delivery, the project was completed within 45 days while supporting the customer’s schedule and infrastructure requirements.
A Dead Front High Voltage Distribution Solution is a fully enclosed power distribution system that eliminates exposed high-voltage connections by using underground cable terminations within a tamper-resistant enclosure. This design improves safety, reduces the need for perimeter fencing, and minimizes the overall installation footprint for utility, industrial, campus, and community applications.
Dead Front High Voltage Distribution Solutions are commonly installed in community developments, industrial and manufacturing facilities, utility infrastructure, healthcare campuses, educational institutions, commercial developments, and other space-constrained sites where safety, aesthetics, and reduced civil construction are important considerations.
Compared with conventional fenced substations, a Dead Front High Voltage Distribution Solution offers a smaller footprint, eliminates exposed high-voltage equipment, reduces civil construction requirements, shortens installation schedules, and provides improved visual integration while maintaining high levels of operational safety.
Yes. ETAC designs Dead Front High Voltage Substation Transformers to meet specific project requirements, including custom voltage ratings, capacity ranges, monitoring systems, alarm functions, and control options. Solutions are engineered for utility, industrial, and infrastructure applications while meeting applicable CSA standards.
Whether you are powering a new community, expanding an industrial facility, upgrading a utility system, or increasing capacity in a space-constrained location, ETAC can help deliver a safer, faster, and more cost-effective high-voltage distribution solution.
