Abstract

A substation contains a switchgear or controlgear, in particular at least one low voltage switchgear or controlgear configured for unmanned operation and maintenance. An inner room, where the switchgear or controlgear are located in, is hermetically enclosed by an outer housing. The inner room is locked against the outer housing by an inner, automatically operated door. A robot system is implemented such that the robot system's acting area is extended from the inner room, partly in the area outside the inner room, but inside the outer housing, where spare parts are stored in a spare parts hand over area, for maintenance.
