The invention discloses a substation for rail transit. The substation comprises a box, wherein the top of the box is fixedly connected with a case, a first motor is arranged on the back side of the inner wall of the case, an output shaft of the first motor is fixedly connected with a disc, the front of the disc is fixedly connected with a cylinder, and a movable rod is arranged on the surface of the cylinder in a sleeving manner. Under cooperative use of a heat dissipation port, a hose, an air inlet pipe, a fan, an air outlet pipe, the case, a support rod, an exhaust pipe, spray nozzles, the first motor, the movable rod, a connecting rod, a supporting rod, the disc, a slide bar, a spring, the cylinder, a slide bushing, a chute, blades, a second motor and a rotating shaft, the problems thatthe conventional substation for rail transit realizes heat dissipation through air circulation commonly and the heat dissipation effect is poor are solved, the substation for rail transit has the advantage of good heat dissipation effect, heat produced by electrical equipment can be discharged timely, service life of the electrical equipment is prolonged, and practicability of the substation forrail transit is improved.
