A prefabricated substation is provided with a solid state breaker and a transformer. The substation preferably transforms voltage from a medium voltage to a low voltage. The substation also breaks current flow through the substation when a fault occurs. The primary components of the substation, including the transformer and solid state breaker, are located together within the housing.

A high voltage power cable assembly for a power distribution system of a vehicle incorporating an integrated cooling system is presented. The power cable assembly comprises first and second electrical conductors spaced apart from one another and extending longitudinally. The power cable assembly further comprises a longitudinally extending cooling tube arranged between the first and second electrical conductors such that opposing portions of an external surface of the cooling tube are provided in direct contact with corresponding portions of the insulating material of the electrical conductors over a heat exchange region so as to transfer heat from the electrically conductive core of the electrical conductors to a coolant medium circulating in an internal channel of the cooling tube.

A utility meter includes an electrical conductor portion, a service switch, and a heat sink. The electrical conductor portion provides electrical communication between a supply line terminal and a load line terminal, and the supply line terminal electrical communication an electrical source. The service switch is selectively operable to interrupt electrical communication between the supply line terminal and the load line terminal. The heat sink is in thermal communication with the electrical conductor portion to dissipate heat generated by a current passing through the electrical conductor portion between the supply line terminal and the load line terminal.
