Direct Recommendation

An 11kV compact-substation RFQ should define the MV source and feeder duty, transformer capacity and LV system, protection and metering, enclosure arrangement, cable entry, site environment, auxiliary supply, tests, drawings, and package boundary.

For commercial developments, industrial distribution, utilities, infrastructure, and replacement packages, the useful deliverable is not another broad definition. It is a marked specification, a deviation list, and enough project information for a supplier to identify the correct equipment family. Start from Compact Substations; those pages define the current public Jinxing product scope.

Decision Summary

  • Buyer intent: RFQ checklist.
  • Project context: commercial developments, industrial distribution, utilities, infrastructure, and replacement packages.
  • First evidence to prepare: the approved single-line diagram plus the equipment data sheet, load schedule, or feeder schedule that applies to this request.
  • Expected supplier response: a model-family match, marked technical exceptions, applicable evidence, missing inputs, and a defined quotation boundary.

Quotation-ready specification structure

A useful RFQ defines the system, equipment duty, physical interfaces, verification scope, and commercial boundary in one package. For 11kv compact substation, the review should produce the following evidence or decision at each stage.

Review areaQuestion to closeEvidence or output
System definitionSingle-line diagram, source, load, fault level, earthing, and operating philosophyApproved electrical design basis
Equipment scheduleRatings, feeder or transformer duties, quantities, spares, and future provisionData sheet and equipment list
InterfacesCable, busduct, control, communication, civil, room, enclosure, and environmental constraintsInterface and layout drawings
Acceptance and deliveryStandards, tests, documents, inspection, packing, destination, and target dateDocument and commercial schedule

Stop and clarify the offer when any of these red flags appear:

  • Requesting a price from only a product name and voltage.
  • Missing fault level, feeder schedule, or installation environment.
  • Not defining drawings, tests, packing, and delivery boundary.

Engineering Review Notes

1. Package boundary

Define which transformer, MV, LV, enclosure, protection, metering, auxiliaries, and site works are included in the supplier scope. In the context of commercial developments, industrial distribution, utilities, infrastructure, and replacement packages, write this decision into the 11kv compact substation data sheet and ask the supplier to mark any deviation. The review output should be a value, drawing reference, calculation input, or explicit technical clarification rather than an unrecorded assumption.

2. Voltage class and ratio

Match the upstream supply, downstream system, insulation coordination, and local utility requirements. In the context of commercial developments, industrial distribution, utilities, infrastructure, and replacement packages, write this decision into the 11kv compact substation data sheet and ask the supplier to mark any deviation. The review output should be a value, drawing reference, calculation input, or explicit technical clarification rather than an unrecorded assumption.

3. Capacity and load profile

Use connected load, demand, motor starting, harmonics, redundancy, and future expansion rather than nameplate totals alone. In the context of commercial developments, industrial distribution, utilities, infrastructure, and replacement packages, write this decision into the 11kv compact substation data sheet and ask the supplier to mark any deviation. The review output should be a value, drawing reference, calculation input, or explicit technical clarification rather than an unrecorded assumption.

4. Feeder function

Separate incomer, outgoing, transformer feeder, motor feeder, bus coupler, metering, and compensation duties. In the context of commercial developments, industrial distribution, utilities, infrastructure, and replacement packages, write this decision into the 11kv compact substation data sheet and ask the supplier to mark any deviation. The review output should be a value, drawing reference, calculation input, or explicit technical clarification rather than an unrecorded assumption.

5. Protection and coordination

Confirm breaker or fuse duty, relay functions, CT/VT inputs, selectivity, earthing, and upstream/downstream coordination. In the context of commercial developments, industrial distribution, utilities, infrastructure, and replacement packages, write this decision into the 11kv compact substation data sheet and ask the supplier to mark any deviation. The review output should be a value, drawing reference, calculation input, or explicit technical clarification rather than an unrecorded assumption.

6. Drawings and test documents

List required GA drawings, single-line diagrams, nameplate data, routine tests, report references, certificates, and shipping documents. In the context of commercial developments, industrial distribution, utilities, infrastructure, and replacement packages, write this decision into the 11kv compact substation data sheet and ask the supplier to mark any deviation. The review output should be a value, drawing reference, calculation input, or explicit technical clarification rather than an unrecorded assumption.

Applicable Evidence and Its Limits

The Jinxing website references GB/T 17467, IEC 62271 reference support for the relevant product families. These are standards families or project references to discuss. They are not a statement that every rating, arrangement, component, or optional test is automatically covered by the same document.

Public evidence available for early review includes:

For this rfq checklist, request a document register that ties each report, certificate, drawing, and routine test to the quoted model or project. Sample evidence supports early qualification; final acceptance records must match the approved configuration and contractual inspection plan.
