Formal opening of the modernized traction substation №1, located on the territory of Kramatorsk Tram & Trolleybudepartment tram depot took place in Kramatorsk on November 15, 2018. The substation is provided for power supply of electric transport, which maintains transport routes between Kramatorsk city center and Old Kramatorsk.

Substation modernization project was implemented within the framework of Covenant of Mayors with financial support from EU. The main purpose of the project was energy saving, reducing costs for maintenance and repair, as well as increasing quality of Kramatorsk public transport services and reducing probability and quantity of emergency stop.

The project involved installation of three modules. PLUTON with its wide experience of implementation of similar projects both in Ukraine and abroad (new tramline in Vinnytsya with application of PLUTON two-unit modular substation, supply of maintenance-free three-unit substation for new tramline in Naberezhnye Chelny (the Russian Federation), supply of three-unit modular "turn key" traction substation for power supply of new tramline in Lviv) was selected as a traction substation equipment manufacturer.

Modular traction substation is provided for operation in a standalone mode without continuous presence of operating staff. Furthermore, the substation is equipped with emergency and working lighting systems, heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems, intrusion detection system, fire detection and fire extinguishing systems. 

Equipment of PLUTON modular traction substation is provided with blockings and protections, which provide high equipment safety level for operating personnel. Benefit of substation is its high readiness for putting into commissioning and mobility — possibility of displacement to another site using road or railroad  freight transport. Ready-assembled modules of traction substation with equipment package were installed onto pre-arranged foundation.

After installation of modules PLUTON experts carried out commissioning and startup, as well as training for personnel, who will carry out substation maintenance.
