Marina Substation

The introduction of substations into the marina and recreational vehicle market allows Eaton to be your complete marina and RV park electrical products supplier. We are able to assist in the design and layout of your marina or RV park electrical system from the primary service provider to your power pedestal. Our substations are designed for any coastal or inland environment and are constructed with powder coated stainless steel NEMA 3R housing cabinets. All substation cabinets come with our limited lifetime warranty.

Ventilation


The substation ventilation is designed to optimize air circulation over and around the transformers and through the panel compartment so that the substation operates at lower temperatures. Substations come equipped with temperature controlled cooling fans for exhausting hot air from the cabinet and solar shield. In addition, substations are available with a doublewalled cabinet and solar shield which allow for cooling of both the exterior surface of the cabinet and the internal components.

Available Options

  • Powder Coated Cabinets Made of Stainless Steel Hardware with Locking Doors
  • Limited Lifetime Warranty on Housing. Transformer and Secondary Distribution Panel in a Single Enclosure Have a One Year Limited Warranty
  • Single-Phase and Three-Phase Models
  • Overload Capacity Meets ANSI L57.96 - 01.250
  • Optional Double-Walled Construction
  • Temperature Controlled Fans for Cooling
  • Custom Made Copper Wound Single-Phase or Three-Phase Transformers from 50 to 330 KVA
  • Up to 1200 Amp Main Circuit Breaker with 16 Single-Phase Branch Circuit Breakers or 10 Three-Phase Branch Circuit Breakers
  • Substations Can Be Equipped with Photocells to Turn On and Off Lights
  • Ground Fault Monitoring System
 

Surge Protector

Surgetrap™ is designed to protect electrical and electronic loads from transients and surge disturbances on your AC power line, such as voltage surges, spikes, and lightning.
  • 175 KA Maximum Surge Current
  • 3500 Joules
  • UL/CSA Listed
  • 3R Enclosure

The Surgetrap™ has a Lifetime Warranty where Eaton will replace the device at no extra charge.  If you buy the power pedestal factory installed from Eaton’s manufacturing facility, we will extend the warranty on all internal components of the Lighthouse or Lighthouse SS power pedestal for three years as opposed to the two year warranty.We can also provide you with the installation kit for the Lighthouse or Lighthouse SS Power Pedestal to retrofit your marina.

 
 

Marina Ground Fault Monitors

Our ground fault monitoring systems are designed to detect fault currents in the AC shore power system that are too low to trip a circuit breaker. The Ground Fault Monitor helps reduce the risk of injury or property damage, which may result from stray fault currents. Our ground fault monitoring system provides information to the maintenance staff on the overall condition of the AC electrical system. The round fault monitoring system perates 4-hours a day and can be monitored by non-technical personnel.

Power Guard

The ground fault monitor detects ground fault currents by means of current transformers (CT), which are placed around main or branch circuits. If a ground fault occurs, the CT will detect the amount of fault current and send a signal to the ground fault monitoring device where the amount of fault current is displayed with the faulty circuit identified. The detected fault can either activate an indicator alarm or disconnect the faulted circuit.

Standard Features

  • Underwriters Laboratories Listed Current Transformers
  • Adjustable Trip Level 10mAmps to 10 Amps
  • Current Transformers up to 8 1/4” Diameter
  • Visual and/or Audible Alarm

Marina Transformers

Because of the high humidity and corrosive conditions of coastal environments, our transformers are wound with Class H heavily insulated copper bar and are double dipped in tough insulating varnish that protects the copper, as well as reduces the hum that is typical in a transformer that is not double dipped. We provide a second overcoat of high temperature epoxy to protect against the severe saltwater environment. We can provide this transformer in single-phase, from 50 to 500 KVA, and three-phase, from 45 to 300 KVA.
